OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operation: Vibra-Phone 280 attaches to your
metal detector. The cord on the V ibra-Phone plugs
directly into the regular headphone jack on your
detector. The sound that you would normally hear
in your headphones is directed into the VibraPhone 280 and is then converted into vibration.
Mounting: Snap the Vibra-Phone 280 onto the
pole of your metal detector, preferably under the
arm portion. Plug the stereo cable on the VibraPhone 280 into the headphone jack of your metal
detector.
Note: If your detector is not built with conventional
‘round tubing’, you can use a short piece of
standard schedule 40 plastic pipe (commonly used
in sprinkler systems) .
Attach the pipe to your metal detector securely
with hose clamps or plastic tie-wraps. Then attach
your Vibra-phone to that new piece of pipe.
Battery: Uses one standard 9 volt. T o install rotate
the rear knob counter-clockwise a few turns and
remove the compression seal. Connect the battery
and insert top end first. Replace the seal and hand
tighten turning clockwise to secure.
Note: Weak or nonexistent vibrations may indicate
a low battery.
Turn on: Rotate the ‘Sensitivity’ knob clockwise.
It will click as you move from the ‘off’ position.
The unit is now on.
Turn off: Rot ate the ‘Sensitivity’ knob full counterclockwise until it clicks. The unit is now off.
ADJUSTMENTS
Sensitivity Knob: The sensivity is adjusted by
rotating the ‘Sensivity’ knob.
For detectors with a ‘threshold sound’, adjust the
sensitivity up until you feel the vibration from the
threshold then back it off until it stops vibration.
This is the most sensitive point. All others detectors
simply rotate the ‘Sensitivity’ knob full clockwise
to its maximum position.
Pulse width Knob: This adjusts the length or
‘Pulse width’ of vibration you feel. Adjust the “Pulse
width” pot using a standard slot screwdriver. If
your detector has a short sharp tone when a target
is detected you may have difficulty feeling it when
it is converted to vibration. Adjust the pot to
increase the length of the vibration you will feel.
Once you’ve adjusted the pot to your liking you
should not have to change it again.
CARE AND MAINTANANCE
Remember to always turn the ‘Sensitivity’ knob to
the ‘Off’ position when not in use to conserve
battery life.
When the Vibra-Phone 280 is in the off position
there is no drain on the battery. However, for long
periods of storage, we recommend you remove
the battery from the battery compartment to
prevent damage to the device due to potential
battery leak.
Thank you for choosing the Vibra-Phone 280
made by Treasure Products, Inc. Now you’re
ready to enjoy the freedom of never having to
wear headphones again!
The Vibra-Phone 280 takes the output from the
headphone jack of your metal detector and
converts that sound into vibration. This will allow
you to feel your detections instead of having to
hear them. It’s designed for treasure hunters that
are hearing impaired or for those who are just
tired of wearing headphones.
The Vibra-Phone 280 works with all common
metal detectors with a 1/4” headphone jack. No
modifications or special tools are needed. Just
clip it to your metal detector, plug it in and you’re
ready to go.
