CONDENSED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using the 1236-X2 is simple, but you’ll have more fun and a better

chance of making that BIG find if you have a complete

understanding of what you’re doing and why. That’s why we

recommend that you read the entire manual first. But if you just

can’t wait any longer or you’ve already used a Fisher “X”

detector, here’s some quick instructions:

1. Set the controls as follows:

FREQUENCY = 0 (center frequency = 5.7 KHz)

SENSITIVITY = 8

DISC = 4

SILENCER = ON

VOLUME = 5

2. Turn the unit on by turning the VOLUME Control

to 5.

3. Set the DISC Control to 4. As soon as you set

the DISC control, your 1236-X2 is automatically

tuned and ground adjusted for searching.

4. The Search mode (which you’re in) is a VLF-

motion discrimination mode. It will ignore ground

minerals and junk, but you’ll have to keep the

search coil moving at least slightly to detect a

target.

5. With practice you should be able to pinpoint in

the Search mode.
