Usage Instructions:
1. To install the battery, first slide the battery compartment panel (6) back with your thumb to reveal the terminal
connections. Clip the included 9V PP3 battery into the connectors ensuring its properly secured then slide the
battery inside the housing and replace the panel by sliding shut.
2. Switch on the detector by pressing the On/Off rocker switch (8) downwards. The LED indicator (2) will initially light
red to engage the self-test function, followed by green once the unit is ready to use.
3. Next set the unit to either sound or vibration alert by pressing the Sound/Vibration button (10).
Note: If the button is inwards the unit is set to vibrate alerts and if its outwards its set to sound alerts.
4. To begin a high sensitivity test, hold the handle (5) and pass the detection area (1) over the subject area slowly
and smoothly. If a metal object is detected the unit will either beep or vibrate (depending on button (10) selection)
and the LED indicator (2) will change to red.
5. If a low sensitivity test is required to eliminate detection of smaller objects, press and hold the low sensitivity switch
while carrying out the test as in point 4. above.
