ATTERY ATTERY ATTERY LERT ALKALINE BATTERY ADX100 is powered with 12 volts from 8 AA Alkaline batteries using 2 batteries holders, 4 batteries each. Pay close attention to the batteries + - polarity before inserting the batteries holder in the electronic box. The metallic rivets (3) of the battery holders must be on the right.

V. C ONTROLS SENSITIVITY, POWER I/0 Turn the machine on with the SENSITIVITY I/O control. You will hear some quick "beeps" which will tell you that the detector is correctly operating. Then you can detect. Good luck ! The sensitivity level adjusts the detection depth and the stability of your detector. Adjust it according to the surroundings so that you won't be disturbed with false signals.

ETECTING ECHNIQUES ADX100 is a motion detector, which means that metallic target detection can only be carried out when the search coil is moving. When you detect an area it is important to sweep with the head as close as possible to the ground with wide movements, but not making contact with the ground.

VII. C NSTRUCTIONS Our detectors are designed to be as robust as possible. However, like any electronic precision instrument, they require some care. The XP search coil cable has been designed so as to resist long term movement. However you should take some precautions and prolong the life of your detector : It is important to leave enough slack at the bottom of the cable near the coil to allow for adjusting the coil angle without placing strain on the coil.

IX. A DVICE TO ETECTORISTS Detecting is an activity, which like other leisure activities requires some guiding principles. These few recommendations will allow you to fully enjoy it while respecting laws, environment and other people. • Enquire about and abide by the laws in force of the country or the state before searching. It is of your responsibility to know them and to abide by them.
