. Your Spectra is designed with an automatic turn OFF if the trigger on the grip
(or another control) “is not used” for a period of 30 minutes. This protects the
battery from damage (absolute discharge) in case of an accidental turn on during
travel or storage. The Spectra will make a specific deep tone musical melody
upon automatic turn off. To restart, simply press ON and squeeze and release
the trigger on the grip to resume searching. The Spectra returns to pre-turn-off
settings.
Batteries

Hydride (NiMH) battery (Orange Decal) will require an initial 3-4 hour battery
charge.
