User manual C-SCOPE CS2MX

[. . . ] 6. Assemble and adjust for length (Twist surplus lead around stem). Set DISC 1 (top right) to ALL METAL (fully anticlockwise). Set SENSITIVITY (top left) to 3 o'clock position. On CS5MX only:Push BATT CHECK down and hold to indicate battery condition. [. . . ] When the BATT CHECK is pressed, the meter will indicate condition of the batteries. If the meter reading falls below the green band, the batteries should be replaced. BOOST HI/NORMAL (CS5MX only) For general detecting work, NORMAL mode should be selected. When increased sensitivity to deep objects is required, then the setting HI should be used. However, if false signalling occurs due to soil mineralisation, revert to the NORMAL setting. 7. 9 OPERATING YOUR METAL DETECTOR Check the batteries are in good condition prior to searching. Frequently check the battery condition during the search. Rechargeables give little warning of failure so ensure they are fully charged prior to a long period of searching or carry a fresh set with you. The unit may operate with reduced sensitivity for a period after indicating 'flat' batteries. However the batteries should be replaced or recharged at the first opportunity. Not only do they extend battery life, but they also cut out extraneous noise. (It is instructive to bury some objects in a clear patch of soil and note the response when swept at different rates with DISCRIMINATE at various levels). Large pieces of iron are difficult to ignore and may give confusing signals. An aid to determine whether the target is iron or not is to go into an all metal mode either by turning the DISCRIMINATE off or simply pressing the PINPOINT button. Iron objects will generally give a stronger more positive signal than good objects. The headphones should be fitted with a standard stereo 1/4 inch (6. 35mm) jack plug. The headphone socket is located under the protective cap in the battery housing. Rechargeable battery pack: A shrink wrapped pack of 8 rechargeable nicad batteries to replace the standard batteries and holder. Battery charger: The C-Scope battery charger is designed to charge the rechargeable pack quickly and safely. CHARGING BATTERIES A battery charge socket is provided for use with the C-Scope battery charger (see Accessories) and is located under the protective cap in the battery housing. (The smaller of the two sockets. ) Inserting the charger will automatically remove the power from the detector so the charger must be removed to do a battery check. Do not attempt to recharge standard batteries. It will take between eight and fifteen hours to fully recharge flat batteries with the C-Scope charging unit. For further information, and a price list, for all C-Scope accessories please telephone (01233) 629181. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RIGHT APPROACH Treasure hunting can be a profitable and rewarding hobby, if approached in a patient and diligent manner. [. . . ] If it is not to be used for a certain length of time it is advisable to remove the batteries to avoid leakage which could cause serious damage. The working life of your detector will be shortened by careless use or neglect of the unit. Think of your detector as a scientific instrument. Your detector is designed to withstand rugged handling on any terrain, but misuse or lack of due attention will tell in the end. [. . . ]
