CONDENSED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the 1236-X2 is simple, but you’ll have more fun and a
better chance of making that BIG nd if you have a complete
understanding of what you’re doing and why. That’s why we
recommend that you read the entire manual rst. But if you just
can’t wait any longer or you’ve already used a Fisher “X” detector,
here’s some quick instructions:
1. Set the controls as follows:
FREQUENCY = 0 (center frequency = 5.7 KHz)
SENSITIVITY = 8
DISC = 4
SILENCER = ON
VOLUME = 5
2. Turn the unit on by turning the VOLUME Control to 5.
3. Set the DISC Control to 4. As soon as you set the
DISC control, your 1236-X2 is automatically tuned
and ground adjusted for searching.
4. The Search mode (which you’re in) is a VLF-motion
discrimination mode. It will ignore ground minerals and
junk, but you’ll have to keep the search coil moving at
least slightly to detect a target.
5. With practice you should be able to pinpoint in the
Search mode.

TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS
LETS PRESERVE OUR TREASURED SPORT!
Laws governing the use of metal detectors are becoming
more and more common. In many countries, the use of metal
detectors is illegal or severely restricted. Don’t let this happen in
your area.
ALWAYS get permission to hunt on private property.
ALWAYS leave a site cleaner than you found it. Take at least
some trash with you or, if you can, take it all.
ALWAYS ll in your holes neatly whether you’re in a city park
or remote wildernessness. Leave the land as it was before you
disturbed it.
ALWAYS obey all laws relating to Treasure Hunting.
ALWAYS return valuable property if you can locate the original
owner.
ALWAYS do whatever you can to give the hobby of Treasure
Hunting the good image it needs and deserves.
MAINTENANCE
Your 1236-X2 doesn’t require a lot of care, but there are a few
things you should do to keep it in peak operating condition.
1. If you’re not going to be using it for awhile, take
the batteries out. Acid damage caused by leaking
batteries can be severe.
2. Avoid extreme temperatures, like inside a closed
car that’s sitting in the sun. Even worse, inside the
trunk in the hot sun.
3. If you “scrub” the search coil on the ground, you’ll
eventually wear through the bottom. Replacement
coils are expensive. Instead,
invest in a coil cover. They’re cheap.
4. Put a plastic bag over the control housing if you’re
hunting in rain, fog or dust.
5. Keep your 1236-X2 dry and clean. Wipe off the
lower stem before sliding it into the upper stem and
keep the slip nut threads free of sand and dirt.
