This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 3 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 3 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 43 ohms.
10COIL-F5, 11COIL-F5, 5COIL-F5
The following statement is not relevant to metal detectors but is printed here to satisfy legal notification requirement:
“To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.”
SETTING UP
λNo tools required.
λ Insert the lower stem (plastic tube) into the middle stem.
Position the stems with the silver buttons toward the back.
Using the bolt and knob, attach the search coil to λ the lower stem.
Press the button on the middle stem, and slide stem assembly into the s-rod.
Adjust the stem to a length that lets you maintain a comfortable upright posture, with
your arm relaxed at your side, and the search 
λcoil parallel to the ground in front of you.
λ Wind the cable securely around the stem.
Insert the plug into the matching
connector on the right underside of the detector body. Be sure that the
λ and pins line up correctly.
After the stem length is adjusted
to your height, tighten the two locking collars to stabilize the
λ stems.
Secure the cable to the stem with Velcro strips at the top and
bottom. Secure one at the bottom of the plastic tube, and one to the aluminum tube, close to the detector housing. It is important to secure the cable; a loose cable may result in erratic sounds.
Arm Rest Adjustment
If you wish to change the position of the arm rest, remove the screw and move the arm rest to one of the alternate hole locations.
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
Two9-Voltbatteriesare suppliedwiththeF5.
The batteries have been inserted backwards in the compartment for storage during transportation. Please remove batteries, turn them around, and install correctly.
Use ALKALINEbatteries only.
Donotmixoldandnew batteries.
λTo install the batteries:
Remove the battery cover
by disengaging the clip at the back.
λstraight back
Align the polarity of the batteries correctly, with the positive "+" toward the coil plug connection, as indicated by the + indicator
λon the housing.
Insert (2) 9-Volt ALKALINEbatteries, with the contacts pointed inward, and press down on the back of the batteries to snap them into place.
Some brands of batteries will require moderate force to clear the
λretaining tabs.
Replace the battery door.Donothingedoorupward; pull
Most metal detector problems are due to improperly installed
batteries, or the use of non-alkaline or discharged batteries. Ifthe detectordoesnotturnon,pleasecheckthebatteries.
USING HEADPHONES
Using headphones (not supplied) improves battery life, and prevents the sounds from annoying bystanders.
It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly, particularly if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use headphones near traffic or where other dangers are present. This device is to be used with interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than three meters.
TARGET PINPOINTING (in PINPOINT mode)
After you have identified a target using a motion mode of detection, press-and-hold the PINPOINT pad to identify the target’s exact location. This technique can yield more information about the target’s shape and size and also find its exact location to facilitate extraction.
Pinpointasfolows:
1.Position the search coil just barely off the ground, and to the side of the target.
2.Now move the search coil slowly across the target, and you can locate it by the sound. The target is located directly under where the sound is loudest.
NarowItDown:
1.To narrow the response further, position the center of the search coil near the center of the response pattern, but not directly over the center.
2.Release the PINPOINT touch pad.
3.Press-and-hold PINPOINT pad again.
4.Repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection further.
Note:Depth indication is less accurate after narrowing.
COIL DRIFT
If you plan to use the PINPOINT mode for continuous searching, realize that drift will occur over time, causing the detector to gain or lose sensitivity. Periodic retuning of the detector is required to minimize drift; release and press PINPOINT again to retune.
TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS:
•Always check Federal, State, County and local laws before searching.
•Respect private property and do not enter private property without the owner’s permission.
•Take care to refill all holes and leave no damage.
•Remove and dispose of any and all trash and litter found.
•Appreciate and protect our inheritance of natural resources, wildlife and private property.
•Act as an ambassador for the hobby, use thoughtfulness, consideration and courtesy at all times.
•Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures.
•All treasure hunters may be judged by the example you set; always conduct yourself with courtesy and consideration of others
