Sensitivity Control
The unit is preset, at the factory, to medium sensitivity. The sensitivity level
can be changed to the low, medium, or high level.* The Specifications List
(see Page 20) shows the effect of the different sensitivity levels for detecting
objects of various sizes.
To change the sensitivity level, open the battery door and remove the stylus
(see Page 7). Use the stylus to press the sensitivity control to cycle through the
sensitivity levels,(low, medium, or high). The unit will beep or vibrate and
will flash the red visual indicator LED to announce the new sensitivity level:
One beep/vibration/flash = low sensitivity
Two beeps/vibrations/flashes = medium sensitivity
Three beeps/vibrations/flashes = high sensitivity
When the unit is turned off or the battery is removed, the sensitivity level
setting is retained in the memory.

Testing the Scanner
• Turn on the scanner in the “ON Audio” or “ON Vibrate” mode.
• Pass the scanner over a metal test object to ensure the LED, audio alarm, or
the vibrate alarm are functioning properly. If the battery is fresh or recently
recharged (more than 7V), the LED next to the ON/OFF button will produce
a green light (see Page 8). If the battery is discharged to less than 7V, the
LED will produce a yellow light and it is recommended that you replace the
battery.
888-778-9010 www.whiteselectronics.com
10
Batteries
One 9V battery is included with the Matrix 100. Use a 9V-alkaline,
9V-lithium-manganese dioxide, or externally charged 9V-battery. If the battery
is fresh or recently recharged (more than 7V), the LED next to the ON/OFF
button will produce a green light. If the battery is discharged (less than 7V)
the LED will flash a yellow light and it is recommended that you replace the
battery.
Battery Life
Based upon measurements, battery life for a 600 mA-hour alkaline battery at
room temperature is:
Hours Days
ON 216 9
OFF 2880 120
Battery life is doubled with the 1200 mA-hour lithium-manganese dioxide
batteries.
Rechargeable 9V batteries can also be used, but battery life per charge
is typically much shorter than the life of 9V-alkaline batteries, and
depends upon the battery type and the battery recharging system.
WARNING
DO NOT use the earbud jack as a recharging port!
Use of the earbud jack as a recharging port may
damage the Matrix 100 or the battery charger,
and will void the warranty.
Battery Temperature Ratings
Alkaline batteries are rated by the following manufacturer:
Energizer -18°C to 55°C (0°F to 130°F)
Panasonic -20°C to 54°C (-4°F to 130°F)
Lithium-manganese dioxide batteries are rated by the following
manufacturer:
Duracell -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)
Energizer -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
Ultralife -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)
Manufacturer’s ratings are based upon operating loads quite different from
the Matrix 100, so it is possible to have different results.
* For information about special batteries that will operate at
temperatures as low as -40°C contact White’s Electronics, Inc.

De-Sense button
On the top edge of the scanner, there is a large rubber “De-sense” button.When
depressed, this button will reduce the detectors sensitivity by approximately
50%. This is particularly useful when scanning near rebar reinforced floors.
The “De-sense” is only activated as long as the button is depressed. While
the “De-sense” button is pressed the ON/OFF LED (see Page 4) will illuminate
continuously. If the battery is good, the LED will be green. If the battery is low
or defective the LED will be yellow.

Lanyard
A lanyard is provided with each Matrix 100. The small nylon loop can be
threaded through the lanyard hole and looped back through itself to secure
the Matrix 100. The lanyard is tested to withhold approximately 25 pounds of
force, before breaking.
Scanning a Person
• Warning: Follow the approved policy & procedure for scanning a person.
This policy & procedure should be approved by the administrator and/or
supervisor of the person using the scanner.
• It is recommended that the operator “NOT” touch the individual being scanned
with the detector.
• The detector is not a weapon and should not be treated as such and will void
the warranty.
• Treat the detector with care. Do not abuse.
National Institute of Justice
Guidelines for use of handheld detectors in schools.
While it is not difficult to learn to use a handheld metal detector correctly,
school administrators should not underestimate the value of annual training for
their operators, as well as training for staff who may be called upon to serve as
backup or supplemental operators. However, on-the-job practice is important
in allowing the school to achieve the type of throughput that will be required in
order to process students quickly.
Every school will want to tailor its own set of operator procedures to take into
consideration its students’ and community needs. Some generic procedures:
• The detector should be passed over the scannee’s body at a distance of no
more than 3 to 4 inches. Avoid touching the body or clothing with the detector.
However, for some baggier clothing, such as pants or jackets, it may be necessary
to hold the detector against or more into the fabric while scanning in order to
stay within 3 to 4 inches of all body surfaces.
888-778-9010 www.whiteselectronics.com
15
Scanning a Person
• Most handheld metal detectors should be set at their highest sensitivity;
an exception to this is if there is significant interference from metal reinforcing
in a floor or other nearby material that could cause constant alarms unless the
detector’s sensitivity is turned down.
• The body scan should be performed each time in the same pattern so that
the operator always knows what parts of the body still need scanning. A sample
routine is illustrated on Page 18.
1. Ask the scannee to place all carried items, plus any caps or headgear on
a table (procedures for manual search of baggage are not covered in this text).
The scannee should stand with his or her feet about 18 inches apart, facing away
from the table and about 2 feet in front of it. Footprints outlined on the floor or
drawn on a mat can greatly help position the scannee properly. Ask the scannee
to hold his or her arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor.
2. Quickly run the handheld detector across some piece of conductive
material on your own body, such as a belt buckle. The ensuing squeal of the
detector will assure you that the scanner is still operating properly.
3. Start at the top of one shoulder of the scannee. With the paddle of the
detector held horizontally and parallel to the front of the body, sweep down one
side of the front of the torso, down the leg to the ankle, then move to the other
ankle and sweep back up the front of this opposite leg and torso, ending with
the opposite shoulder. (If a particular detector’s detection paddle is less than
half the width of the average body, or if a particular body is wider than twice the
width of the detection paddle, the pattern will have to be modified to achieve
adequate coverage).
4. Sweep the detector paddle over the outside top of the arm from the top
of the shoulder to the bottom of the wrist, then up the inside of the arm to the
armpit. Sweep down that side of the body to the ankle, then up the inside of that
leg and down the inside of the opposite leg, then back up the other leg from the
ankle to the underarm. Repeat the sweep of the inside and outside of this arm.
Note that it would be particularly important to avoid touching the paddle up
against the scannee’s body when scanning up and down between the legs.
5. Ask the scannee to turn around. (Arms can be put down now). The pattern
used to scan the front of the body should now be repeated over the back of the
body.
6. Ask the scannee to grab the edge of the table for support, then to lift one
foot up in back of him or herself. Scan across the bottom of the shoe. Repeat
for the other foot. The operator should expect to hear a short squeal from the
detector when scanning the bottom of shoes or boots with steel shanks or steel
toes. Both shoes should cause equivalent squeals.
7. For the head area, start at the top of the forehead and scan around the
888-778-9010 www.whiteselectronics.com

Scanning a Person
top of the head down to the back of the neck.
• When the detector identifies a suspicious item and there is no visible
source for the alarm (clothing is shielding the source object), ask the person to
show you what they have in that area. For example, for an alarm along the arm
or wrist, have the scannee pull up his or her shirt sleeve. Using your detector,
duplicate the squeal you heard before, but now over the visible item.
• Do not let the scannee influence you as to what is actually causing an
alarm. For instance, if the detector denotes the presence of a suspicious item
under a shirt sleeve, do not fail to completely investigate the source of the
alarm even though the scannee assures you that it is just his or her watch.
• If the person you are about to scan caused an alarm when walking through
a portal metal detector, and your job is to try to locate the source of that alarm
on his or her body, do not stop the complete scanning process just because you
come across one alarm-causing item. Continue the scan even though you find
one or more items in the process.
• The lower abdominal area is particularly difficult to scan because this area
is private in nature and because of the metal items usually found in this area:
belt buckles, metal buttons or snaps, and metal zippers. When doing the initial
front body scan, if an alarm occurs in this area, there are two possible ways to
further investigate:
a. Ask the scannee to undo any belt he or she might have on and have him
or her pull the belt ends away from the middle of the body. Now scan the zipper
area; your handheld metal detector should tell you if it is now only sensing a
zipper and/or a metal snap, or if a more suspicious item is present and further
investigation is needed.
b. A second approach that some schools use is that, if the lower abdominal
area is causing an alarm on the handheld detector, ask the scannee to bend
the front of his or her front waistband forward, to ascertain that no weapon
is hidden behind it. Facilities need to be available for situations where
further investigation can be accomplished privately, but only in the presence
of two or more school employees who are the same gender as the scannee.

Scanning a Person
This is an example of procedures for using a handheld metal detector that has at least a
10-inch zone of direction.

Justice in their report titled The Appropriate and Effective Use of Security Technologies

There have been no conclusive studies showing that the magnetic fields
generated by handheld metal detectors will or will not affect personal medical
electronic devices (PMEDs), such as pacemakers, cardiac defibrillators,
infusion pumps, spinal cord stimulators, etc. Therefore, caution should be
used when operating handheld metal detectors near people with the PMEDs.
