Bounty hunter Quick Draw II User Manual
OWNER’S MANUAL
Your Quick Draw II Metal Detector incorporates patented microprocessorcontrolled technology. The Quick Draw II is a motion detector; movement over
an object is required in order for the machine to detect the object and emit a
tone. Alternatively, you can sweep a metal object over a motionless search coil.
THIS METAL DETECTOR HAS TWO TYPES OF OPERATING MODES:
1. ALL METAL DETECTION
All metals will be detected.
2. DISCRIMINATE, NOTCH, and AUTO NOTCH modes
In any of these three detection modes, the detector will emit different
tones, depending upon the type of metal present. The characteristics are
adjustable. Depending on the detector control settings, some metals will
also be eliminated from detection.
DISCRIMINATE:
Eliminates iron and trash items with the use of the
DISC/NOTCH knob.
NOTCH:
Provides an adjustable rejection "window" to eliminate undesirable
metals from detection. Move the rejection "window" with the
DISC/NOTCH knob.
AUTO NOTCH:
Provides a pre-set rejection "window", automatically eliminating
most pull-tabs and trash items from detection.
CAUTION:
• Do not test the detector by placing coins or metal objects on the floor.
Most floors contain metal, which will cause interference.
• Use 9-VOLT ALKALINE batteries only.
DO NOT USE INDOORS. LIGHTS AND HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES EMIT
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS WHICH INTERFERE WITH THE DETECTOR’S
OPERATION

INTRODUCTION
Your Quick Draw II is an advanced technology metal detector, designed for a
variety of applications including coinshooting, relic hunting, and general purpose
detecting.
Before using your Quick Draw II, it is important to read these instructions. This
manual's description of detection
concepts and types of metals is
necessary to avoid frustration if
you are new to the hobby of metal
detecting.
Terminology
Elimination — Reference to a metal or
target being "eliminated" means that
the detector will not emit a tone nor
light up an LCD indicator when an
object is in the coil’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 objects.
Iron — Iron is a common, low-grade
metal which is often an undesirable
target. Examples of undesirable iron
objects are old cans, pipes, bolts,
and nails.
Relic — A relic is an aged object of
historical significance. Note that
many relics are made of iron, an
otherwise undesirable object in
some metal detecting applications.
Pull-tabs and Trash Items —
Discarded pull-tabs from beverage
containers are the most bothersome
items for professional and hobby
metal detectorists. These items are
generally constructed of aluminum,
iron, or steel. We have
therefore incorporated
special features into
the Quick Draw II
to eliminate these
targets or to alert
you to their possible
presence.

Assembling your Quick Draw II Metal
Detector is easy and requires no tools.
Just follow these steps:
●
1 Using the supplied bolt and knurled
knob, attach the search coil to the
lower stem.
●
2 Press the button on the upper end
of the lower stem and slide the
lower stem into the upper stem.
Adjust the stem to a length that
lets you maintain a comfortable
upright posture, with your arm
relaxed at your side.
●
3 Wind the search coil cable around
the stem. Leave enough slack in the
cable to let you adjust the coil when
you are hunting on uneven ground.
Then tighten the knob at the end of
the search coil.
Note:
To adjust the coil,
simply loosen the knob.
●
4 Insert the coil’s plug into the
matching connector on the control
housing. Be sure the holes and
pins line up correctly.
Caution:
• Do not force the plug in.
Excess force will cause damage.
• To disconnect the cable, pull on the
plug. Do not pull on the cable.

BATTERIES
IMPORTANT :Always use ALKALINE batteries for optimal performance.
Always remove the batteries for prolonged storage.
CHECK THE BATTERIES if your detector exhibits any of the following
symptoms:
●
1 The unit does not turn on.
●
2 Low speaker volume.
●
3 Unable to tune detector with the discriminate knob.
The Low Battery indicator light will come on and stay on whenever the
batteries need replacing. It should flash momentarily when the Power
Switch is turned on.
IMPORTANT:Your Quick Draw II metal detector requires two 9-Volt
ALKALINE batteries.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
●
1 Carefully remove the
battery compartment door
by pressing the release clip
on the right side of the door.
●
2 Snap one battery onto
each of the terminals and
place the batteries inside
the compartment. Insert
one battery with the
terminals facing down,
and the second battery
with terminals facing
outward.
●
3
Replace the compartment
door by carefully inserting
opposite side of clip first.
Then press down on clip side
until battery door snaps into
place.
