User manual C-SCOPE CS440MXD

[. . . ] The CS440XD is extremely easy to use but you will be better at using your detector if you take the time to read this manual carefully and understand what the controls are doing. CS440XD - Rapid get you going instructions Assemble and adjust for length. Insert battery so that the terminals line up easily with the contacts in the battery compartment. (9volt MN1604 ) Switch on and rotate Sensitivity Control (14) to the start of the green section on the scale. Rotate the Discrimination Control (16) to the green position on the scale. [. . . ] Turn the control to the recommended setting (marked green on the scale 2 - 5) and signals from small iron objects are ignored but at slightly reduced depth. Turn the control further (5 - 10) and more classes of metal target are ignored, such as larger iron pieces and some aluminium based alloys at the top of the scale. However, high levels of discrimination are not recommended for general detecting purposes, due to the reduced depth penetration and also because some valuable items (thin section hammered coins and some rings) may fall into the same category as rubbish and not be detected. The purpose of the Retune push-button is to keep the detector working at peak performance by maintaining the point of threshold set on the sensitivity control. For example, moving from dry ground to wet ground may cause the background tone to gradually increase to an unacceptable level. Pressing the retune button momentarily will bring the background tone to the point of threshold again. If the retune button fails to have this effect, it is probably necessary to re-set the sensitivity level. It is good detecting practice to press the retune button every few minutes or whenever you feel that that the detector may have drifted away from its sensitivity setting. Wind the search-head lead (9) around the stem as shown in the photograph. Adjust the stem for length according to your height (it's easier on your back if you can stand up straight while detecting) and tighten the twistlock stem adjuster (6). Check that the search-head (7) is parallel to the ground when being swept in an arc and tighten (be careful not to over-tighten) the search-head retaining screw (8). (Keep these parts clean - if they become covered in mud or sand wash and dry these parts at the end of a day's detecting. Don't allow any form of lubricant onto the rubber friction washers. ) Battery: Push back the retaining clip and remove the cover (13) of the battery compartment (12). There are guide strips to ensure the battery is fitted the right way round. It should slide in easily to connect with contact strips in the compartment. Remove the battery if the detector is to be stored for more than a few days. Searching Technique: Sweep the detector head from side to side in a smooth arc. Keep the search-head as close to the ground as possible, even at the ends of the arc where there is a natural tendency for the search-head to lift. Maintain a strict search pattern so that the area being searched is completely covered. (You will be more successful if you cover a small area of ground thoroughly than if you search a large area of ground in random fashion. [. . . ] However, the control box should be treated with similar care as any electronic product. Stem and search-head parts should be washed with tap water and dried at the end of a day's detecting. warranty & Service The CS440XD is guaranteed free of manufacturing defects as confirmed in our written warranty document.
