GARRETT PRO-POINTER

Congratulations on your selection of the Garrett

PRO-POINTER Metal Detector. The Garrett PRO­POINTER is a hand-held metal detector designed to

precisely pinpoint metallic (ferrous and nonferrous)
objects during treasure recovery.
The PRO-POINTER is intended for use in
conjunction with a ground search metal detector to
aid in the recovery of metallic targets. The Garrett
PRO-POINTER has both audible and vibrating alarms
to indicate the presence of metal objects. The alarms
increase in intensity as the PRO-POINTER is moved
closer to the metal target. With a pinpointing tip plus
a sifting blade with side-scan capability, the PRO-
POINTER is very effective in easily detecting even the
smallest of metallic objects. An LED flashlight assists in
dark and low light conditions.
The PRO-POINTER has an IP 66 standard
waterproof rating, fully protecting it from the environment
and allowing it to be washed under running water or
operated in the rain. The PRO-POINTER's durability—
based on MIL STD 810 F—will provide years of
reliable operation even in rugged environments.

Microprocessor circuitry allows the PRO-POINTER to
operate at maximum sensitivity without any need of
adjustments.

The Garrett PRO-POINTER is ideal for the recovery
of small items in a wide variety of hunting conditions,
ranging from highly mineralized ground to saltwater­saturated sand.
You will find the Garrett PRO-POINTER to be an
indispensable tool to:

• Speed target recovery;

• Accurately find small objects;

• Prevent digging large holes;

• Identify multiple objects in near proximity;

• Search in tight interior areas such as walls and
ceilings;

• Serve as a utility pinpointer for locating metal
pipes, conduit, rebar and control boxes; and

• Locate nails and metal wall studs in homes.

COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS

Power Switch—To switch the detector on, press

the power button while holding the PRO-POINTER
away from any metallic objects. The white LED will
illuminate and a brief audio beep will occur, indicating
the PRO-POINTER is ready for use.

Audio and Vibrate Alerts—The speaker
provides a clear audible sound whenever metal is
detected. The PRO-POINTER's vibrator motor also
activates when a metallic target has been detected.
As the PRO-POINTER is moved in closer proximity
to a metallic target, the rate of the pulsing audio and
vibrations will increase proportionally. As the PRO-
POINTER is moved away from the metallic object, the
rate of the pulsing audio and vibrations will decrease.
This unique Garrett feature helps the user determine
the precise location of the target.

Sifting Blade—The PRO-POINTER also
includes a 3.75" sifting blade to aid target recovery.
This rugged edge is ideal for sifting and scraping
through dirt while searching for the target. The PRO-
POINTER's 360º-side-scan metal detection allows the

detector to alarm when the blade is passed in close
proximity to a metallic target.

LED Light—The white LED (located next to the
Power Switch) will remain illuminated while the unit
is on, providing power-on indication and acting as a
flashlight when needed.
Audible Low Battery Alert—The battery

The PRO-POINTER's LED light helps illuminate targets in low light.

condition of the PRO-POINTER is monitored continually.
When the battery becomes low, the detector will sound
an alternating dual-tone alarm. This sound indicates
that the detector's 9V battery should be replaced as
soon as possible.

Battery Cover—This cover makes changing the
single 9V battery quick and easy. No tools are required.
Simply rotate the battery cover counterclockwise to
remove and clockwise to tighten by hand. Battery
contacts are keyed to avoid improper installation of the
9V battery.

Holster—The convenient holster helps secure
the PRO-POINTER to any standard size belt.
