Adjusting the Angle of the Coil:
1 Loosen the bolt that connects the Lower
Shaft to the Coil. It should be loose
enough to allow the Coil to be moved for
adjustment, but tight enough that the Coil
can hold its position.
2 While holding the detector as if detecting,
lightly press the Coil to the ground until it
sits flat/parallel with the ground. The Coil
should remain parallel when lifting to the
sweep height, approximately 25mm (1”)
above the ground.
3 Tighten the bolt, but do not over-tighten it.
E-Trac is supplied with two types of
battery pack.
One is a sealed rechargeable Nickel-Metal
Hydride (NiMH) battery pack. This comes with
a charger which plugs into a conventional
wall socket. The NiMH battery pack is
supplied discharged and needs to be charged
for 18 hours before operating the detector.
The other battery pack is a housing for eight
‘AA’ cell alkaline batteries.
Battery Packs
WARNING: Do not attempt to
disassemble the NiMH battery pack.
If disposing of battery pack, do not
incinerate. Contact your local authorities
to enquire about disposal or recycling
facilities.
Adjusting the Detector for
Comfortable Detecting
Removing the Battery Pack from the
Battery Compartment:
1 Ensure that the detector is turned off
before removing the battery pack.
2 Rest the detector on a flat surface.
Disconnect the headphones.
3 Lift the rubber seal of the battery
compartment located at the end of the
handle assembly.
4 Raise the yellow tab to release the spring
loaded battery pack.
5 Remove the battery pack entirely from the
battery compartment.
Note: Whenever the detector has been unused
for a lengthy period, recharge the battery pack
to ensure full performance.
Note: Since there may be a variety of options
available for this detector, equipment may
vary according to the Model or items ordered
with your detector. Certain descriptions and
illustrations may also differ (in this manual) from
the exact Model that you purchased.
