OWNER’S MANUAL

Important Facts to Know

about your Metal Detector.

1. This is a MOTION detector.

You must sweep the searchcoil from side-to-side to

detect metal.

A motionless searchcoil over a metal object will not

result in detection.

2. Do not use indoors. Detector is for outdoor use only.

Household appliances emit electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with your

detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration, turn the sensitivity down and

keep the searchcoil away from appliances such as microwaves, computers and

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

Do not test by placing coins on the floor. Most floors contain metal.

Keep the searchcoil away from floors, walls, and tables, which can contain

metal.

3. Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.

Do not use Heavy Duty batteries.

Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon batteries.

4. Adjust sensitivity to a low level in the event of false signals

Always begin use at reduced sensitivity.

Increase to full sensitivity after you are familiar with the detector’s operation.

TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS: INTRODUCTION The Commando is a user-friendly instrument, requiring only a minimum of operator skill, yet delivering effective performance over a wide range of conditions and applications. Streamlined in appearance, with only two operating knobs and a mode selection switch, the Commando has eliminated the two most difficult aspects of metal detector operation, Tuning and Ground Balancing. Both of these functions are automatic with the Commando.

METAL DETECTING APPLICATIONS (cont.) trash items. Gold rings will induce a low sound. Be aware that some pull-tabs can also induce a low tone. Silver will induce a high tone. Chains and necklaces are difficult to find. If you are looking for gold rings, don’t get discouraged; you will dig up many broken pull-tabs before you find your first gold ring! HOUSEHOLD APPLICATIONS Find property markers, lost keys, machine parts, and other lost items.. CONTROL SETTINGS REQUIRED: 1 Toggle switch in center position.
PAGE 4
BATTERIES IMPORTANT: METAL DETECTING APPLICATIONS Always use ALKALINE batteries for optimal performance. Always remove the batteries for prolonged storage. CHECK THE BATTERIES if your detector exhibits any of the following symptoms: 1 The unit does not turn on. ● 2 Low speaker volume. ● 3 Unit beeps continuously at low sensitivity setting. ● The Low Battery indicator light will come on and stay on if the batteries are discharged. It should flash momentarily when the Power Switch is turned off.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Commando Metal Detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so that you can enjoy it for years. Handle the metal detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage electronic components. Use and store the metal detector only in normal temperature environments. Extreme temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

OPERATION The Commando is a “motion” detector. This means that the search coil must be moving to detect the presence of metal. When practicing with a stationary metal detector, keep the target moving over the coil. Objects held still under the search coil will not be detected.
PAGE 7
IN THE FIELD (cont.) OPERATION PINPOINTING TONE MODE AUDIO RESPONSES Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by “X-ing” the suspected target area. 1 ● 2 ● 3 ● 4 ● 5 ● 6 ● Once a buried target is identified by a good tone response, continue sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing side to side pattern. Take visual note of the place on the ground where the “beep” occurs as you move the coil slowly from side to side. Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.
PAGE 8
OPERATION AUTO GROUIND CONTROL: The Commando automatic Ground Track feature allows operation in virtually all soil conditions, regardless of mineral content. Use it effectively on the beach or for gold prospecting. In the ALL METAL Mode (Toggle switch in the middle), the Commando will detect gold nuggets through black sand and will find deeply buried relics in all types of soil. OPERATING TIPS: Turn the detector on using the left knob. NOTE: The detector will remain silent when turned on.
