When using fresh batteries, the voltage will initially
check somewhere in the 10 to 14 volt area. Unlike
standard batteries, the rechargeable battery voltage
will quickly drop to between 9 and 10 volts and
plateau there for most of its life. Once the recharge-
able battery voltage drops below this plateau, it will
quickly drop below a usable voltage level (eight
volts) and thus require a recharge.

tery reaches eight volts.
Like a personal computer, there are times (such as
low battery conditions) when the microprocessor of
a metal detector becomes out of sequence with the
rest of the circuitry. This is often noted by peculiari-
ties in the nondiscrimination or pinpointing (TRIG-
GER squeezed) modes. Symptoms may be blaring
or silent non-discriminate or pinpoint modes, depth
indication inaccuracies or general abnormal opera-
tion. To correct such diffi culties "re-boot" by:
1. Install a good battery.
2. Turn ON wait for MAIN MENU to appear.
3. Open battery door and remove battery while
4. Wait one minute, reinstall battery, turn
detector ON, and check for proper function.
Use of maximum backlight may reduce battery life
by up to 50%, depending on battery type.
Rechargeable batteries gradually deteriorate. As
they age they do not provide the life-per-charge
they did when new. This is expected, and not
grounds for replacement under warranty. Addition-
