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

Quick Draw II FEATURES

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.								E
								D
								O
								TM
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
therefore		incorporated
special features				into				Interchangeable
the	Quick Draw II							Coil System
to eliminate			these					8" Waterproof
targets or		to	alert
you to their possible								Search Coil

presence.

EASYASSEMBLY

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.
