to secure. The second or third adjustment holes are suitable
for average height adults. Exceptionally tall users may wish
to consider purchase of the “tall-man” lower rod (500-0242-
3) and/or the “tall-man” S-rod (500-0240-1).
4. Wind the search loop cable around the rod assembly, first
revolution starting over the top of the rod. Work your way to
the top of the S-rod. Use the Velcro retainers, one near the
loop and one near the top, to hold the cable in place.
5. Insert the rod/loop assembly into the control box rod
(unlock the cam lock if necessary); the spring clip buttons
will click into the holes. Turn the cam lock to secure. Nor-
mally, the S-rod should curve upward.
6. Two adhesive black foam pads are included; they can be
placed on the insides of the arm cup.
7. Adjust the Velcro arm strap so that you can easily slip your
arm in and out. The strap provides extra leverage and con-
trol, though some prefer not to use it.
8. Install the battery pack (see next section for details).
9. Hold the detector normally and check for comfortable angle
and balance. Adjust the lower rod extension and/or the arm
cup position if necessary.
Batteries
VX 3 is provided with an 8-cell AA battery pack. For best
results, use either alkaline batteries or high-capacity recharge-
