Introducing the Quattro MP Thank you for purchasing the Minelab Quattro MP (multi-purpose) metal detector. [. . . ] Undo the Velcro and pull the buckle outwards (towards yourself. ) Clip the buckle back into place and tighten the strap by pulling up. The next time you use your detector, all you will need to do is click the buckle back into the armrest. p7 3. Search Coils The function of the search coil is to transmit electromagnetic signals into the ground, and receive the response. The Quattro MP is supplied with a 10. 5 inch open web "Double D" search coil. Double D is the common term used to describe the two internal coil windings which overlap each other, producing a blade like search pattern. The advantages of Double D coils are very good ground cancelling abilities, and very good ground coverage, as the coil has an even detection range along its entire length. Because of this, the operator is only required to slightly overlap each sweep, to ensure all targets at maximum depth are recovered. There is an optional 8" coil available that provides greater sensitivity to small targets, and improved performance in high trash areas. Both coils are epoxy filled, so they can be submersed in water, but care must be taken to ensure the control box remains dry. To replace the search coil: 1. Undo control box camlock and disconnect the coil cable from the control box. Separate the two shaft assemblies by releasing the shaft camlock and sliding the lower shaft out. Continue to feed the cable into the shaft until the connector is visible at the top of the shaft. Note: It may be easier to pull the cable through the lower shaft using a length of string or cord. Once this is completed you should be able to see approximately 4 inches (100mm) of cable between the coil yoke and the search coil. Using other chargers may damage your battery and will void the product warranty. Wall/Mains Charger The NiMH battery pack is sold in the discharged condition. Insert the mains charger plug into the socket at the tapered end of the battery pack. Note: You may find that the first couple of times you charge your battery, you may not achieve the full hours of operation. The batteries will reach their full capacity after several recharge cycles. Car Charger 4. Insert the car charger plug into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle. Insert the car charger plug into the socket at the tapered end of the battery pack. A small light on the car charger illuminates indicating that the car charger is in operation. If the battery was not completely discharged, the charging time will be shorter. [. . . ] Tip: You can practice getting familiar with your Quattro MP by selecting different coins and jewelry and passing each one over the coil a number of times and noting the different numbers each type will produce. Note: These same ID numbers can be used by the operator to make alterations to the discrimination pattern (see 9. 1. 2) and will also be useful in recognizing common targets. 7. 2. 4. Target Icons Similar to the ID numbers, the Quattro MP will also indicate the likely target type located, using a select number of generic icons (F). At times the meter may display two icons at once, indicating that the characteristics of the target located is similar to that of a number of targets. [. . . ]
