ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS -

1. Remove all parts from shipping carton. Check the assembly page to make

sure all parts are present.

2. Use the provided rubber washers between clevis/lower rod and loop ears.
Use only nonmetallic washers, fiber bolt, and thumbnut to secure loop/search coil
to clevis/lower rod.

3. Unlock “S” rod camlock and insert clevis/lower rod into curved “S” rod
so that stainless steel spring clip buttons line up and lock into one of the
adjustment holes in the curved “S” rod. Turn camlock to secure. The second
or third adjustment holes are suitable for average size adults. Individuals 6’
or taller should use the fully extended position. Individuals well over 6’ tall
should purchase the optional Tall Man Fiber Lower Rod #500-0242-3 and/or
#500-0240-1 Tall Man Aluminum “S” Rod.

4. Unravel loop cable and wind the cable around the clevis and rod assembly,
first revolution over the top of the rod. Wind cable all the way to the top of the
curved “S” rod, about five revolutions. Use the black cable retainers, one near
the loop, and one near the top of the curved “S” rod, to hold the loop cable in
place.

5. Unlock control box rod cam-lock and insert curved “S” rod so that stainless
steel spring clip buttons line up and lock into the rod on top of the control box.
The “S” rod is designed to curve up toward the display. However, those who
prefer to sweep the loop close to their feet may desire to assemble the “S” rod
to curve down toward the ground. Turn cam-lock to secure. Plug loop connector
into control box, screw lock ring to secure.

6. Grip the instrument by the handle, with your arm in the elbow cup with strap
secure, and sweep the loop/search coil over the floor. If the instrument fit feels
uncomfortable, adjust the elbow cup by removing and repositioning the bolt/
thumbnut and installing in one of the optional positions. If necessary, readjust
clevis/lower rod length with the spring clip buttons and cam-lock so that the
search coil can be held near the floor without requiring stooping over.

7. Remove the protective paper from the two black elbow cup foam pads.

Carefully align pads on the inside of the elbow cup, one on each side of the
center rod, and press firmly into place.

8. Adjust the elbow cup strap so that it is loose enough for you to slide your arm
in and out without loosening each time you want to set the detector down. The
elbow cup strap provides extra leverage and control. However, some prefer not
to use it.

9. Install battery as described in the next section, decal facing down, single
larger plastic tab and steel contacts facing toward inside of battery compartment.

10. It should be noted at this point that the Vision may not work as expected
indoors due to the high degree of metals used in modern construction. It is best
to tune and practice (outdoors) to ensure stable, predictable results.

11. Your Vision is designed with an automatic turn OFF if the trigger on the grip
(or another control) “is not used” for a period of 30 minutes. This protects the
battery from damage (absolute discharge) in case of an accidental turn on during
travel or storage. The Vision will make a specific deep tone musical melody
upon automatic turn off. To restart, simply press ON and squeeze and release
the trigger on the grip to resume searching. The Vision returns to pre-turn-off
settings.

Batteries

The Vision is provided with two battery packs. A rechargeable Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) battery (Orange Decal) will require an initial 3-4 hour battery
charge.
