Preparing to Operate
Adjusting the Stem
1. Turn locknut clockwise until it becomes loose (see Figure 1). Adjust the stem so when
you are standing upright with the detector in your hand, the search coil is level with and about
1/2 to 2 inches above the ground when your arm is relaxed at your side (see Figure 2).
Turn the stem’s lock nut counterclockwise to lock it in place.
Adjusting the Search Coil
Loosen the Knobs at the end of the Search Coil (the Search Coil
should be parallel with the ground). Tighten the Knobs enough
to keep the Search Coil from wobbling or rotating (see Figure 3).
