OWNER’S MANUAL

The

Cabela’s

Treasure

Hunter is a

professional metal detector.

While the most difficult aspects of metal

detecting have been automated, it is a

sophisticated electronic device which

requires an understanding of some basic

features and metal detecting concepts.

If you do not have prior experience with a metal

detector, we strongly recommend that you:

1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting in

the event of false signals. Always begin use at a reduced

sensitivity level; increase to full sensitivity after you have become

familiar with the detector.

2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for outdoor use only. Many

household appliances emit electromagnetic energy, which can

interfere with the detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration,

turn the sensitivity down and keep the search coil away from

appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.

If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights,

especially those with dimmer switches.

Also keep the search coil away from objects containing metal, such

as floors and walls.

3) Read this manual. Most importantly, review the Quick-Start Demo

(p.6 & 7) and Basic Operation (p. 8-11).

Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only. Do not use Heavy Duty

Batteries.

TROUBLESHOOTING TERMINOLOGY TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM CAUSE Detector chatters • Using detector or beeps erratically indoors • Using detector near power lines • Using 2 detectors in close proximity • Highly oxidized buried object • Environmental electromagnetic interference SOLUTION • Use detector outdoors only • Move away from power lines • Keep 2 detectors at least 20’ apart • Only dig up repeatable signals • Reduce sensitivity until erratic signals cease Constant low tone • Discharged batteries

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES (continued) ASSEMBLY Assembly is easy and requires no tools. Nut Just follow these steps: 1 Using the supplied bolt and ● knurled knob, attach the search coil to the lower stem. Connector on back of control housing Armrest 2 Press ● the button on the upper end of the lower stem and slide the lower stem into the upper stem. Screw Hand-grip Adjust the stem to a length that lets you maintain a comfortable upright posture, with your arm relaxed at your side.
PAGE 5
IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES (continued) Swing the search coil slowly, overlapping each sweep as you move forward. It is important to sweep the coil at a consistent speed over the ground as you search. After identifying a target, your sweep technique can help in identifying both the location and the nature of the target. If you encounter a weak signal, try moving the coil in short, rapid sweeps over the target zone; such a short rapid sweep may provide a more consistent target identification.

QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION I. Supplies Needed • A Nail • A Quarter • A Pull-Tab from a beverage can • A Zinc Penny (dated after 1982) II. Position the Detector a. Place the detector on a table, with the search coil hanging over the edge. (or better, have a friend hold the detector, with the coil off the ground) b. Keep the search coil away from walls, floors, and metal objects. c. Remove watches, rings and other jewelry or metal objects from hands and wrists. d.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE The principle use for the Sensitivity Control is to eliminate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). A hobby metal detector is an extremely sensitive device; the search coil creates its own magnetic field and acts like an antenna. If your detector beeps erratically when the search coil is motionless, the unit is probably detecting another electromagnetic field.
PAGE 8
BASIC OPERATION DEPTH AND TARGET DISPLAY READING THE DISPLAY The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows the PROBABLE identification of the targeted metal, as well as the PROBABLE depth of the target, in inches. The detector will register a repeating, unchanging target identification when a buried target has been located and identified. If, upon repeated passes over the same spot, the target identification reads inconsistently, the target is probably a trash item, or oxidized metal.
PAGE 9
BASIC OPERATION (continued) AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION While the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is very accurate in identifying buried objects, the user in the field does not always maintain the display screen in his field of vision. Therefore, we have incorporated an audio feedback mechanism to alert the user to the nature of buried objects. This audio feedback system first alerts the user to the presence and classification of objects, whose nature and location can be confirmed using the LCD display.
PAGE 10
BASIC OPERATION (continued) To increase the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION ▲ touch pad. Each time the ▲ pad is depressed, an additional "R" will appear, thus eliminating from detection the objects which fall into the corresponding categories. To decrease the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION ▼ touch pad. Each time the ▼ pad is depressed, an illuminated "R" will disappear, thus returning to detection the objects which fall into the corresponding categories.
