ASSEMBLING YOUR X-TERRA 70
6
Coil Cable Assembly
Wind the coil cable around the lower
and middle shaft enough times to take
up the slack.
Use the velcro tabs to keep the coil
cable in place against the shaft. It is
recommended that one tab is used on
the lower shaft close to the coil and the
other tab on the middle shaft before the
cable reaches across to the control box.
Align the coil plug and push it into
the socket in the back of the control box,
firmly tightening the retaining ring to
hold it in place.
Armrest Assembly
Place the armrest onto the top of the
upper shaft, lining up the central hole in
the armrest with one of the holes in the
aluminium shaft. Position the armrest to
suit your arm length
(Holding the Detector, pg. 14).
Insert the screw up through the stand,
upper shaft and armrest. Tighten the
screw, being careful not to overtighten
or damage the thread.
With the velcro side facing upwards,
thread the armrest strap through both
slots in the armrest. Ensure that the end
of the strap will be fastened outwards
from your arm.
The X-Terra 70 is designed to be
used in either the left or right hand.
This diagram shows the velcro strap
threaded outwards for the left arm.
Connecting the Control Box
With the LCD facing up, push the control
box onto the end of the handle until it
fits into place.
The LCD window has a protective fi lm
affi xed to prevent scratching. This may
be removed when the detector is fully
assembled.
The control box may be easily removed
for packing and transport.
Disconnecting the Control Box
Brace the detector firmly against
yourself, grasp the control box and
pull it away from the handle.
Inserting Batteries
The X-Terra 70 uses 4 X AA batteries which
are not included with the detector
(Battery Behaviour, pg. 47).
Access the battery compartment via
the battery door located on the side
of the control box. Slide the battery
compartment door upwards with your
thumb.
Place individual batteries into the
compartment as illustrated, ensuring
the positive (+) and negative () contacts
match the diagram on the control box.
Close the battery door by pushing and
sliding it downwards.
If the detector does not turn on
correctly, check the battery orientation.
The detector will not be damaged if the
batteries are inserted incorrectly.
