Batteries
I. Standard Batteries:
A. The standard battery holder holds eight “AA”
cell batteries. Alkalines are recommended for use
with this model. During normal searching condi-
t i o n s
you can expect about 70 hours of hunting
time from one set of eight Alkalines.
B. Non-alkalines can be used in
this holder. When non-alkalines
or rechargeable “AA” cells are
used detecting time (before
replacement/recharge)
will be reduced to about
50 hours.
C. Once the batteries become
weak, the beep over metal targets will
be reduced in volume. Shortly thereafter,
the instrument will no longer respond to metals.
D. The battery compartment opens by gently pulling
down on the front of each of the two latches on the
bottom of the control box.
II. Using The Standard Battery Holder:
A. Slide open the battery holder lid (decal side of
battery holder) by applying gentle upward pressure
on the tab of the door so that it unlocks. Slide the
door away from the battery box exposing the cell
positions.
B. Remove any old
cells from the holder.
Note the (+) and (-)
positions of each cell
and the (+) and (-) for
each position marked
inside the cell tray.
Install new “AA”
cells noting carefully
the correct (+) and
(-) positions.
1. If the cells are
installed incorrectly,
the detector may
require service by an
Authorized Service Center.
C. Slide the door closed so that it snaps securely.
D. Insert the battery holder into the detector so that
the decal is facing down, with the battery holder door
tab and metal contact points facing toward the inside
of the battery compartment.
1. Close the battery compartment door and secure
the two latches on the bottom of the case. Hook the
front of each latch first, then press down on the rear.
III. Rechargeable Batteries:
A. White’s manufactures an optional rechargeable
battery system for this model. Quick charge and
overnight charge options
are provided, as well as the
latest in state of the art non-
memory characteristics.
