INTRODUCTION

To protect your investment complete both sections of the enclosed guarantee card and return the
reply paid portion to C-Scope. This is particularly important in order to register for the free
extended parts guarantee (UK only). 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

Your detector 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
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.

The batteries should be fitted in the 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

CS2MX only

The battery condition is indicated by an
audio tone.

A loud, clear and sharp signal indicates the
batteries are of good strength.

A weak, broken or non-existent signal
means you should replace the batteries.

CS5MX only

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 SENSITIVITY (POWER) control
on. Press the centre push switch marked
BATT CHECK and hold down. 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. Release the switch and turn the
SENSITIVITY control off. 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.
