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 trafc or where
other dangers are present. This device is to be used with
interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than three
meters.

searching.

without the owner’s permission.

• 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.

FEATURES
ABOUT YOUR M-97
Using ideas that you, our valued customers, have passed on to us, the
M-97 Valve and Box Locator stands as the new and improved addition
to our line of highly successful M-95 and M-96 Locators.
The M-97 is an all-metal metal detector that can search through
concrete and asphalt and was designed for nding buried or paved
over valves, boxes, or manhole covers, or any other concealed metallic
object. It also locates targets made of aluminum, brass and lead. Please
remember, like all Valve and Box Locators, the M-97 is a Metal Detector
which should not be used as a substitute for a Utility Line Tracer. Fisher
Research Laboratory manufactures a complete line of equipment for
Line Tracing (Pipe and Cable Tracing).
New to the M series is the ease with which the M-97 can be stored.
Just compact the lower stem, twist the search coil 90 degrees, and fold
the search coil at. The M-97 ts easily into the optional carrying case.
In the Fisher tradition, the M-97 is affordable, tough, and simple to use
while providing maximum performance. A two year limited warranty
comes standard with the unit.
