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 up, with the battery holder door
tab and metal contact points facing toward the
inside of the battery compartment.
Make sure the large rubber battery compartment
door is dry and free of sand/debris, insert it into
place (only fits one way). Secure the two hooks on
each side of the case. Then engage the latch.
An optional rechargeable system incorporating the
latest in state of the art non-memory characteristics
is available for the BeachHunter 300 Whiteʼs nicad

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 hours of hunting
time from one set of eight alkalines.
2. Non-alkalines can be used in this holder. When
non-alkalines or rechargeable “AA” cells are used,
detecting time (before replacement/recharge) will
be reduced to about 30 hours.
3. Once the batteries become weak, the blue/green
light fails to light when the SENSITIVITY control
is turned to BATT CHK The beep over metal tar-
gets will be reduced in volume when low batteries
are used. Shortly thereafter, the instrument will no
longer respond to metals.
4. The battery compartment opens by disengaging
the latch, disengaging the two hooks on each side
and removing the large rubber door. Tilt the instru-
ment to slide the battery pack from the control box.
