Using the
Standard Battery Holder
1. Slide open the battery holder lid (decal side of
battery holder) by applying gentle upward
pressure on the tab of the door so that it unlocks.
Slide the door away from the battery box
exposing the cell positions.
2. Remove any old cells from the holder. Note the
(+) and (-) positions of each cell and the (+)
and (-) for each position marked inside the cell
tray. Install new “AA” cells noting carefully the
correct (+) and (-) positions.
If the cells are installed incorrectly, the detector
may require service by an Authorized
Service Center.
3. Slide the door closed so that it snaps securely.
4. Insert the battery holder into the detector so that
the decal is facing down, with the battery
holder door tab and metal contact points facing
toward the inside of the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment door and secure the
two latches on the bottom of the case. Hook the
front of each latch first, then press down on the
rear.

Standard Battery Holder
1. The standard battery holder holds eight “AA”
cell batteries. Alkalines are recommended for use
with this model. During normal searching condi-
tions you can expect about 40 or more hours of
hunting time from one set of eight alkaline
batteries.
2. Non-alkaline batteries can be used in this holder.
When non-alkalines or rechargeable “AA”
cells are used, detecting time (before replacement/
recharge) may be reduced to about 30-35
hours.
3. Once the batteries become weak, the beep over
metal targets will be reduced in volume.
Shortly thereafter, the instrument will no longer
respond to metals. The Audio-Boost toggle
has a battery test position in the spring-loaded
down position. Battery level is noted on meter.
4. The battery compartment opens by gently
pulling down on the front of each of the two
latches (on the bottom of the control box) releasing
the catch and hinging open the door.
