Operating instructions

BATTERIES 
The CS4ZX is powered by 
eight AA batteries (not 
supplied) available from 
garages, department stores, 
etc. or a single 12v 
rechargeable pack from C-
Scope. It is advisable to use 
standard batteries to start with. 
You can then evaluate the sort 
of use you give the detector 
and decide whether the 
investment in rechargeables is 
justified. 
The batteries should be fitted in 
the holder which is located in 
the battery compartment. To fit 
new batteries first check the 
power switch on the unit is 
switched to OFF. Then loosen 
the two captive screws located 
in the battery cover (do not fully remove these from the cover) and remove the cover. Inside is the 
battery holder. Lift out the holder and detach the connector if it is already fitted. Load it with the 
eight batteries ensuring that each battery is inserted the correct way round, (direction of batteries 
alternating). Roll each individual battery to ensure it is located correctly and making proper contact. 
Replace the connector making sure that it is firm and well seated, and put the loaded holder into the 
housing. Fit the cover and tighten the two captive screws finger tight. 
Note: Zinc Carbon batteries should not be left in the detector for long periods where they could leak, 
so remember to remove them at the end of a day's searching. 
BATTERY CHECK 
A battery condition indicator is provided on the detector. To do this for the first time prior to reading 
the remainder of the operating instructions proceed as follows:- Push the trigger switch (see diagram 
3) located underneath the main housing forward, towards the search head. Turn the SENSITIVITY 
(POWER) control on. Press the centre toggle switch marked METER DISC GROUND, 
BATTERY to BATTERY and hold down. The meter will indicate in the green area if the batteries 
are good and in the red or central position if the batteries need replacing or recharging. Release the 
switch and turn the SENSITIVITY control off. Rechargeable batteries will not read as high into the 
green as standard batteries even when fully charged. They also give less indication of discharge on 
the meter during use.
