[. . . ] "On / Off" indicator light "On / Off" button Speaker Earbud jack 8 Sensitivity control The unit is preset, at the factory, to medium sensitivity. You can change sensitivity to the low, medium or high level. * The Specifications list (page 20) shows the effect of the different sensitivity levels for detecting objects of various sizes. Open the battery door and remove the stylus from inside the battery door (see page 7). [. . . ] The lanyard is tested to withhold approximately 25 pounds of force, before breaking. Scanning a person · Warning: Follow the approved policy & procedure for scanning a person. This policy & procedure should be approved by the administrator and/or supervisor of the person using the scanner. · It is recommended that the person using the scanner "NOT" touch the person being scanned with the detector. Do not abuse. National Institute of Justice guidelines for use of handheld detectors in schools. While it is not difficult to learn to use a handheld metal detector correctly, school administrators should not underestimate the value of annual training for their operators, as well as training for staff who may be called upon to serve as backup or supplemental operators. However, on-the-job practice is important in allowing the school to achieve the type of throughput that will be required in order to process students quickly. Every school will want to tailor its own set of operator procedures to take into consideration its students' and community needs. Some generic procedures: · The detector should be passed over the scannee's body at a distance of no more than 3 to 4 inches. However, for some baggier clothing, such as pants or jackets, it may be necessary to hold the detector against or more into the fabric while scanning in order to stay within 3 to 4 inches of all body surfaces. · Most handheld metal detectors should be set at their highest sensitivity; an exception to this is if there is significant interference from metal reinforcing 15 in a floor or other nearby material that could cause constant alarms unless the detector's sensitivity is turned down. · The body scan should be performed each time in the same pattern so that the operator always knows what parts of the body still need scanning. Ask the scannee to place all carried items, plus any caps or headgear on a table (procedures for manual search of baggage are not covered in this text). The scannee should stand with his or her feet about 18 inches apart, facing away from the table and about 2 feet in front of it. Footprints outlined on the floor or drawn on a mat can greatly help position the scannee properly. Ask the scannee to hold his or her arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor. Quickly run the handheld detector across some piece of conductive material on your own body, such as a belt buckle.
