Bounty Hunter metal detector, Junior User Manual

User’s Manual

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

1. Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.

• Do not use Heavy Duty batteries.

• Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon Batteries.

2. Make sure the right knob is clicked on (i.e. not in battery-test

position).

3. 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.

• 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 search coil off
ground and wave coins over search coil.

Installing Batteries

Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only!

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

2. Pull out the two battery connectors.

3. Snap on two 9-volt ALKALINE batteries.

Do not use Heavy Duty or ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries.

4. Place batteries into compartment one on top of the other.

5. Replace the battery door.

Slide over until it shuts securely in place.

All battery brands differ slightly in size.
If you want to secure the batteries more tightly in the
compartment, feed the battery wires underneath and between the
batteries.

If batteries fit too tightly, causing battery door to bulge, move
battery wires toward front of compartment, not between the
batteries.

Quick-Start Demo

Try this quick way to demonstrate the basic features of your metal detector:

I. Supplies Needed

a. A nail

Beginning Settings
a. Left Knob: At 6:00 position
b. Right Knob: Click on, but keep counterclockwise

IV. Detecting All Types of Metals

a. Wave each object over the search coil. Notice the tone is

loudest as the object passes over the center.

b. Pass each object at varying distances from the search coil.

Notice that the sound gets louder as the object moves closer to
the search coil. Also notice that beyond a certain distance, the
object is no longer detected.

V. Eliminating Some Metals

a. Wave the nail and slowly turn the right knob to the right.

• Notice where the nail is eliminated from detection

b. Wave the penny and keep turning the right knob until the

penny is eliminated from detection

c. Wave the quarter
