2.Do not use indoors. Detector is for outdoor use only.
Household appliances emit electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with your detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration, turn the sensitivity down and keep the searchcoil away from appliances such as microwaves, computers and televisions. If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights.
Do not test by placing coins on the floor. Most floors contain metal.
Keep the searchcoil away from floors, walls, and tables, which can contain metal.
3.Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only. Do not use Heavy Duty batteries.
Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon batteries.
4.Adjust sensitivity to a low level in the event of false signals Always begin use at reduced sensitivity.
Increase to full sensitivity after you are familiar with the detector’s operation.
INTRODUCTION
The Tracker IV is a user-friendly instrument, requiring only a minimum of operator skill, yet delivering effective performance over a wide range of conditions and applications.
Streamlined in appearance, with only two operating knobs and a mode selection switch, the Tracker IV has eliminated the two most difficult aspects of metal detector operation, Tuning and Ground Balancing. Both of these functions are automatic with the Tracker IV.
The Tracker IV will detect in extreme ground conditions, ranging from salt (for beach hunting) to black sand (for gold prospecting), with no operator adjustments to the circuitry and with no loss of sensitivity.
From salt water beach conditions to black sand deposits common at gold prospecting locations, the Tracker IV sees
the earth’s naturally occurring
minerals to find buried metals.

EASY
ASSEMBLY
Assembling your Tracker IV Metal Detector is easy and requires no tools. Just follow these steps:
●Using the supplied bolt and knurled knob, attach the search coil to the lower stem.
●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.
●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.
●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 out 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:
●The unit does not turn on.
●Low speaker volume.
●Unit beeps continuously at low sensitivity setting.
The Low Battery indicator light will come on and stay on if the batteries are discharged. It should flash momentarily when the Power Switch is turned off.
IMPORTANT: Your Tracker IV metal detector requires two 9-Volt ALKALINE batteries.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
●Carefully remove the battery compartment door by pressing the release clip on the right side of the door.
●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.
●Replace the compartment door by carefully inserting opposite side of clip first. Then press down on clip side until battery door snaps into place.
