TABLE OF CONTENTS

Congratulations!

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Bounty Hunter®Quick Draw®Pro
Metal Detector. The Quick Draw Pro is the result of nine years of software
engineering and features the latest advancements in lightweight design, target
accuracy and deep-penetrating detection technology.

The Quick Draw Pro can be used with its default turn-on-and-go settings, or it
can be programmed to your specific treasure hunting goals and objectives or
desired settings. Treasure hunting enthusiasts from around the world were
involved in the development of this revolutionary new detector. This manual

TERMINOLOGY

The following terms are used throughout the 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, 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.
Long-buried 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.

lets you maintain a comfortable upright

posture while holding the detector relaxed

at your side with the SEARCHCOIL

parallel to the ground in front of you.



Wind the CABLE around the STEM.

Leave slack in the cable at the bottom to

allow the searchcoil to pivot.

The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included).
Do not use ordinary “Zinc Carbon” batteries
Do not use “Heavy Duty” batteries.

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

The battery compartment is located on the back side of the Control Housing.
Slide the battery door to the side to remove. Insert battery. Close battery door.
When it's time to replace the battery simply push down firmly on the bottom of
the battery (see illustration).

BATTERY LIFE

Expect 20 to 25 hours of life from a
9-volt alkaline battery.
Rechargeable batteries provide about 8
hours of usage per charge.

BATTERY INDICATOR

The battery icon has three segments
plus an outline segment.
The amount of battery voltage for an
ALKALINE battery is indicated as
follows:

3 segments illuminated: 8.1 volts or more
2 segments illuminated: 7.1 to 8.0 volts

1 segment illuminated: 6.5 to 7.0 volts

No segments illuminated: 6.2 to 6.4 volts
Outline Flashing: 6.1 or less

SPEAKER VOLUME AND BATTERY CHARGE

You may notice the speaker volume drop while one battery segment is
illuminated.
With the outline flashing, low speaker volume will be very apparent.

BATTERY DISPOSAL & RECYCLING

Alkaline batteries may be disposed of in a normal waste receptacle or recycled.
Non-Alkaline 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.
