Treasure Cove VIBRA-PHONE 280 User manual

Thank you for choosing the New Vibra-Phone 280
made by Treasure Products, Inc. Now you’re
ready to enjoy the freedom of never having to
wear headphones again!
The New Vibra-Phone 280 takes the output from
the headphone jack of your metal detector and
converts that sound into vibration. This will allow
you to feel your detectors signaling instead of
having to hear it.
It’s designed for those that have difficulty hearing
tones and whistles or are just tired of wearing
headphones.
Note: The Vibra-Phone is not waterproof and
should not be submersed or exposed to water.
Sound to Vibration Converter
Battery Installation
Battery Type
Uses one standard 9-volt battery.
Opening battery compartment
To open the battery compartment, push down
slightly on the ridged area of the battery cover with
your thumb, and slide the cover away from the body.
Connecting battery
Connect a standard 9-volt battery to the battery clip
and insert it into the battery compartment.
Closing the battery compartment
To close the compartment, replace the battery
compartment cover and slide it back in position until
it aligns with the main body.
Operating Instructions
Connection
The cord on the Vibra-Phone plugs directly into the
regular headphone jack of your detector. The
sound that you would normally hear in your
headphones is directed into the Vibra-Phone where
it is converted into vibration.
Power on
Rotate the ‘Sensitivity’ knob
clockwise from the position shown
in image. The unit is now ON.
Power off
Rotate the ‘Sensitivity’ knob
counterclockwise until it clicks and
is in the position shown in image.
The unit is now OFF.
Adjustments
Sensitivity Knob
The sensitivity is adjusted by rotating the
‘Sensitivity’ knob. For maximum sensitivity,
rotate knob to the full clockwise position.
For detectors with a ‘Threshold Sound’, adjust the
sensitivity up until you feel the vibration from the
threshold, then back it off until the vibration stops.
Pulse Width Pot
This adjusts the length, or ‘Pulse Width’ of
vibration you feel. Adjust the ‘Pulse Width’ pot by
using a standard slot screwdriver.
If your detector has a short sharp tone when a
target is detected, you may have difficulty feeling
it when it is converted to vibration. In this case,
adjust the pot clockwise to increase the length of
the vibration you will feel. Once you’ve adjusted
the pot to your liking, you should not have to
change this adjustment again.
