PRODUCTFEATURES
•Communicateswithvibration‐TheVibra‐Probesignalswithpulsesofvibrationwhenatargetis
located.
•PulseInductionTechnology(PI)‐Allowshuntinginsaltwaterorinanytypeofsoil,includingblack
sand.
•Detectiondepthstability‐Advancedcircuitrymaintainsdetectiondistancethroughoutthelifeofthe
battery.
•Truetargetdirection‐Detectsatthetiponly,notalongtheshaft,enablingprecisiontarget
pinpointing.
•Targetdistancing‐Astheprobetipgetsclosertothetargetthepulsesofvibrationwillcontinueto
increase.
•Automatictuning‐Thestate‐of‐the‐artmicroprocessor‐controlleddesignrequiresnoadjustmentsof
anykind.
•TiltOn/Off‐Turnsonandoffwhenpointedupwardorwillautomaticallyturnitselfoffoneminute
afterlastpulse.

BATTERYINSTALLATION
Whentheknobofthebatterycompartmentsealisrotatedclockwise,theplugexpandsandpresses
againsttheinsidewall,sealingtheunit.Toopenthebatterycompartmentseal,rotatetheknob
counter‐clockwiseafewturns,thenpulltoremove.Connectastandard9vbatterytothebatteryclip
andinsertthebatteryintothedetector,clipsidefirst.Toreplacetheseal,insertallthewayin.Then
turntheknobclockwiseuntilhandtighttoassureawater‐tightseal.BeforesubmergingtheVibra‐Probe
makesurethebatterycompartmentsealissecure.

OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
Turnon:Pointtheprobetipupforatleastonesecond.Twoshortpulsesofvibrationindicatetheprobe
ison.
Turnoff:Afteruse,pointtipupforatleastonesecond.Twolongpulsesofvibrationindicatetheprobe
isoff.

Automaticoff:Automaticallyoccursoneminuteafterlastpulse.Turnoffisindicatedbytwolongpulses
ofvibration.
Lowbatteryturnoff:Whenthebatteryislowtheunitwillshutdownautomaticallyindicatedbyfour
longpulses.

Operation:TheVibra‐Probecommunicatesthroughpulsesofvibration.Thepulsesofvibrationincrease
inquantitytheclosertheprobetipistothetarget.Thequantityofpulsesisproportionaltothetarget
sizeanddistance.Thebiggerthetarget,ortheclosertheprobetipistothetarget,thehigherthepulse
count.Probethesoilindifferentlocationsuntilyoudetectthetarget.TheVibra‐Probedetectstargetsat
thetiponly.Thisallowsyoutopreciselylocatethetarget.

IMPORTANTNOTES
Theprobecommunicatesitsproximitytothetargetonlyonetimeperdetection.Movetheprobetip
slightlyawayandthenre‐approachthetargettogetthenextdetection.Aswithanynewdetectoryou
shouldpracticewithknowntargetstodevelopyourpinpointingtechnique.TheVibra‐Probeisarobust
unit.However,itshouldnotbeusedasapry‐barordiggingtool.Falsedetectionsmayoccurifthecoilof
yourprimarydetectoristooclosetotheVibra‐Probe.

HELPFULHINTS
Ifyourprimarydetectorindicatesthatthetargetisnearthesurface,probethesurfacebeforedigging.
Tolocatedeepertargets,loosenthegroundwithasuitablediggingtoolbeforeusingtheprobe.
Whenhuntinginalawn,ratherthandiggingalargehole,insertascrewdriverorsimilartoolintothe
groundfromseveralanglestopushthegrassandrootsasidetoformaslotlargeenoughtoinsertthe
probe.Thenprobethesidesoftheslottolocatethetarget.

CAREANDMAINTANANCE
YourVibra‐Probeisasensitiveelectronicinstrument.Althoughitisrugged,careintransportingand
handlingwillextenditslifeandresultinoptimumperformance.WhentheVibra‐Probeisoffthereisno
drainonthebattery.However,ifstoredforlongperiodsoftime,werecommendthatthebatterybe
removedtopreventdamagetothedetectorduetoapotentialbatteryleak.

Alwaysusehighqualitybatteriessuchasalkalineornickelmetalhydride(NiMH).
