16 Adjusting the Detector for
Comfortable Detecting
Note: For comfortable, long
term detecting, it is important
you take the time to adjust the
detector correctly.
Holding the Detector:
Thread your arm through the armrest and strap. Grasp the
handle of the detector and rest your forearm in the armrest.
Adjusting the Position of the Handle:
Your elbow should sit just above the back of the armrest
allowing you to comfortably grip the handle.
Slide the handle into position. Using a screwdriver, tighten the
two screws which hold the handle onto the shaft. Adjust the
handle strap to a comfortable position.
Adjusting the Length of the Lower Shaft:
If the coil is too far from your body it will be difficult to balance
and manoeuvre while detecting.
If the coil is too close to your body it may detect your pick, the
battery, or any other metal which you are carrying; causing
confusing sounds.
Rotate the twistlocks of the shafts counter-clockwise to ensure
that they are loosened.
Compress the spring pins of the shafts and move them up or
down to suit. Once all shafts are clipped into position, rotate
twistlocks clockwise onto the shafts until they are
firmly clamped.
The correct length of the lower shaft should allow you
to swing the coil in front of your body without any
uncomfortable stretching or stooping.
