• To insert the batteries, remove the battery compartment lid on the rear of the operating unit. Push the
latching lever at the edge of the battery compartment lid at the grooved areas at the left and right and
push off the lid to the side.
• Now insert two 9 V-batteries into one battery compartment each. Be sure to observe the correct polarity
of the individual cells (note plus/+ and minus/-).
• Then insert the battery compartment lid again and let the latching levers latch properly when pushing on.
The operating time with fully charged, high-quality alkaline batteries is approx. 16 hours.

10. Operating information

a) Functions and indications in the display
This chapter explains the functions and display indications. Observe the numbers in figure 3.
• The metal icons (1) in the display serve as orientation on what material or object has been found. This is
shown with an arrow ("Target" - 5) right below the respective symbol. There is a gold and a silver area
(symbols from the left to the right). The first 4 icons from the left represent the gold area, the last two the
silver area.
• The first icon (screw icon) means iron/sheet metal and indicates that the object found is probably made
of iron or sheet metal. Oxidised iron may be displayed in the silver range.
• The second icon means nickel (5c-icon) and suggests that the target is most likely a 5-cent piece.
• The third icon shows a tear-open tab (tear-open-tab icon) and indicates that the object is probably a
tear-open tab of an aluminium can. Some objects of coarse gold will be displayed in the "tear-open-tab
category".
• The fourth icon "S-CAPS" shows that the target is probably a metal type as in a bottle cap. Some smaller
gold objects may be displayed in this category.
