(2) AA ALKALINE batteries.

DO NOT USE

• Heavy Duty Batteries.

• Zinc Carbon Batteries

TERMINOLOGY

The following terms are used throughout this manual and are standard
terminology among detectorists.

RELIC

A relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association with the past.
Many relics are made of iron, but can also be made of bronze or precious
metals.

IRON

Iron is a common low-grade metal that is an
undesirable target in certain metal detecting applications.
Examples of undesirable iron objects are old cans, pipes,
bolts and nails. Sometimes, the desired target is
made of iron. Property markers for instance, contain
iron. Valuable relics can also be composed of iron;
cannon balls, old armaments and parts of old
structures and vehicles can also be composed of iron.

FERROUS

Metals which are made of, or contain iron.

ELIMINATION

Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a
tone, nor display a Target-ID icon when a metal object passes through the
searchcoil's detection field.

DISCRIMINATION

When the detector emits different tones for different
types of metals, and when the detector "eliminates"
certain metals, we refer to this as the detector
"discriminating" among different types of metals.
Discrimination is an important feature of
professional metal detectors. Discrimination
allows the user to ignore trash and otherwise
undesirable objects.

PINPOINTING

Pinpointing is the process of finding the exact location of a buried object. Long­buried metals can appear exactly like the surrounding soil, and can therefore be
very hard to isolate from the soil.

GROUND CANCELATION

Ground Cancelation is the ability of the detector to ignore, or "see through," the
earth's naturally occurring minerals, and only sound a tone when a metal object
is detected. This detector incorporates proprietary circuitry to eliminate false
signals from many mineralized soils.

To get the most enjoyment from your Metal Detector, we suggest
you do the following:

1. Use two AA ALKALINE batteries only.

• Do not use Heavy Duty batteries.

• Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon Batteries.

Rechargeable batteries can also be used. If you use
rechargeables, we recommend using “Nickel Metal
Hydride” rechargeable batteries.

2. Use your detector OUTDOORS only.

• Large metal objects inside the home may interfere
with the detector’s operation. Floors and walls of
most homes contain metal objects such as nails,
pipes, wires, ductwork, etc.

• Electrical appliances inside the home, like
microwave ovens, televisions, and some light
fixtures emit electromagnetic energy which can
interfere with the detector’s operation.

• Do not place coins on the floor of your home and
try to detect.
Try this test outside only.

• If conducting an indoor demonstration, hold the
searchcoil off the floor and wave coins over the
center of the searchcoil.

Installing Batteries

Use two AA ALKALINE batteries only!

1. Remove the battery door from the front of the detector.

2. Use two AA ALKALINE batteries.

Do not use Heavy Duty or ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries.

3. Install batteries with polarity marking as shown.

4. Replace the battery door.

WARNING

- Never mix old and
new batteries.

- Never mix alkaline,
standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable
(nickel-cadmium) batteries.

- Never dispose of batteries in fire, as
they may explode.

- Never attempt to charge non-chargeable batteries.

- Always remove exhausted batteries from metal detector.

- Do not store unit with batteries installed.

BATTERY DISPOSAL & RECYCLING

Alkaline batteries may be disposed of in a normal waste receptacle or recycled. Non­Alkaline batteries should be recycled. In the state of California all battery types must be
recycled. Please refer to local municipalities for detailed disposal and recycling
requirements.
