METAL DETECTOR
8000
OWNER’S MANUAL
If you do not have prior experience
with a metal detector, we strongly
recommend that you:
1) Adjust the Sensitivity
to a low setting in the
event of false signals.
Always begin use at a
reduced sensitivity level. Expect chatter or
internal noise at high sensitivity.
2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for
outdoor use only
. Many household
appliances emit electromagnetic energy,
which can interfere with the detector. If
conducting an indoor demonstration, turn
the sensitivity down and keep the searchcoil
away from appliances such as computers,
televisions and microwave ovens. If your
detector beeps erratically, turn off
appliances and lights.
Also keep the searchcoil away
from objects containing metal,
such as floors and walls.
3) Use a 9-volt ALKALINE battery
only
.
Do not use Heavy Duty Batteries.
