With your RadioShack Metal Detector, you can hunt for coins, relics, jewelry, gold, and silver just about anywhere. The Metal Detector is versatile and easy to use. Its features include:
Three-Tone Audio Discrimination — sounds distinctive tones for different types of metals, to make target identification easier.
Analog Meter— shows the probable type of metal being detected.
Auto Tune — lets you tune your detector quickly for accuracy.
Arm Support — lets you carry and operate your detector comfortably.
Waterproof Search Coil — lets you use the detector to search under water. (The search coil is waterproof, but the detector’s control housing is not waterproof.)
Adjustable Stem — lets you adjust the detector’s length for comfortable use.
Headphone Jack — lets you connect headphones (not supplied) to the detector.
Low Battery Indicator — lets you know when it is time to replace the batteries.
TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS
All treasure hunters might be judged by the example you set. Here are a few basic rules you should follow while using your detector.
•Always get permission before searching any site.
•Respect the rights and property of others.
•Observe all national, state, and local laws while treasure hunting.
•Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures. If you are not sure about an object you have found, contact a museum or historical society in your area.
•Leave the land and vegetation as it was. Fill in any holes you dig.
•Use your detector only in safe areas.
•Dispose of any junk you find, only in approved areas. Do not leave it for the next treasure hunter to find.

ˆ Preparation
ASSEMBLING THE
DETECTOR
Assembling your detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow these steps.
1. Turn the stem’s lock nut clockwise until it loosens.
2. Lengthen or shorten the stem so when you stand upright with the detector in your hand, the search coil is level with and about 1/2 to 2 inches above the ground with your arm relaxed at your side.
3. Turn the stem’s lock nut counter-clockwise to lock it in place.
4. Unscrew the knobs on the search coil and remove the knobs and connector. Insert the stem
and align the holes on the search coil bracket and the stem.
Push the connector through the holes, then replace and tighten the knobs.
5.Wind the search coil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the cable to let you adjust the search coil when you are hunting on uneven ground.
6.Insert the search coil’s plug into the search coil jack on the detector’s control
housing so the pins on the plug are aligned with the holes in the jack.
Cautions:
•The search coil’s plug fits into the connector only one way. Do not force the plug or you could damage it.
•To disconnect the search coil’s cable from the detector, grasp the plug and pull it out of the connector. Never pull on the cable.
7.Loosen the knob at the search coil’s end, then adjust the search coil to the desired angle. (The search coil should be parallel with the ground.) Tighten the knob just enough to keep the search coil from rotating or wobbling.
Caution: Do not overtighten the search coil or use tools such as pliers to tighten it.
8.Loosen the knob at the base of the handle, insert the arm support, and tighten the knob.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your detector requires two 9V alkaline batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
