INTRODUCTION

To protect your investment complete both sections of the enclosed guarantee card and return to C-Scope. This is particularly important in order to obtain the free second year parts guarantee. Please retain the original packing box. In the event that your detector should ever require to be serviced, this package will be most suitable for postal protection.

C-Scope detectors are recognised as the finest detectors available. They are designed with lasting quality, high technology, and above all, value for money. The only way to realise this value is to carefully study and understand this instruction manual. You will then be able to obtain all the advantages designed into your detector. It is also strongly recommended that you experiment with the detector's operation in air using various test samples, in order to learn to identify and understand the detector's capabilities and responses. Always remember that becoming a good metal detectorist is like becoming a good photographer or fisherman, that is, although it is an advantage to buy the best equipment, having bought it, patience and hours of practice are needed to become proficient.

ASSEMBLY

Open the carton and remove the main housing assembly. Twist the plastic stem lock, located at the end of the upper stem to allow the lower stem to be inserted. Adjust for length and rotate the lower stem to wrap the cable around the stems and take up any slack. Allowing enough cable for free movement of the search head push the cable into the cable slots to hold it firm. Turn the stem lock to fix it at the desired position.

BATTERIES

The CS1220XD is powered by eight AA batteries (not supplied) available from garages, department stores, etc. or a single 12v rechargeable pack from C-Scope. It is advisable to use standard alkaline batteries to start with. You can then evaluate the sort of use you give the detector and decide whether the investment in rechargeables is justified.

holder which is located in the battery compartment. To fit new batteries first check the power switch on the unit is switched to OFF. Then loosen the two captive screws located in the battery cover (do not fully remove these from the cover) and remove the cover. Inside is the battery holder. Lift out the holder and detach the connector if it is already fitted. Load it with the eight batteries ensuring that each battery is inserted the correct way round, (direction of batteries alternating). Roll each individual battery to ensure it is located correctly and making proper contact. Replace the connector making sure that it is firm and well seated, and put the loaded holder into the housing. Fit the cover and tighten the two captive screws finger tight.

Note: Zinc Carbon batteries should not be left in the detector for long periods where they could leak, so remember to remove them at the end of a day's searching.

BATTERY CHECK

A battery condition indicator is provided on the detector. To do this for the first time prior to reading the remainder of the operating instructions proceed as follows:- Turn the POWER ON/OFF, TUNE control on. Turn the SENSITIVITY control fully anti-clockwise to the BATTERY CHECK position. The meter will indicate in the green area if the batteries are good and in the left or central position if the batteries need replacing or recharging. Rechargeable batteries will not read as high into the green as standard batteries even when fully charged. They also give less indication of discharge on the meter during use.

Checking The Batteries

CONTROLS AND WHAT THEY DO

1. On/Off Tune 5. Retune button

2. Sensitivity/Battery Check 6. Ground Push Select button

3. Function/Mode Select control 7. Discrimination

4. Discriminate Push Select button 8. Signal Meter

Power On/Off Tune Switch (1)

This rotary control switches the detector on and adjusts the level of audio tune to the user’s preference and the level of meter tune when in the Manual Control modes (see below).

Sensitivity/Battery Check (2)

In the fully anticlockwise switched position the Battery Check is enabled with the battery condition displayed on the meter (8).

When turned clockwise the control will adjust the sensitivity of the detector to metal objects.

By increasing the sensitivity by tuning this control clockwise, the detector will be more prone to drift, erratic signals, ground interference etc. Where there is no ground effect or outside interference the SENSITIVITY control can be operated at higher levels.

When the signal becomes unsteady or erratic, the sensitivity level should be reduced to obtain a clear, steady tuning threshold. Only when the tuning is constant and steady will the detector operate at the optimum depth penetration.

The recommended starting point is midway, i.e. “12 O’clock” position.
