8 • Magna-Trak 200 Series Magnetic Locator
buried object in search of. The only option is to reduce the sensitivity until the
interference from the fence is minimized. However, the locator’s sensitivity to the
buried object is also minimized and usually undetectable.
The Magna-Trak 202 and its “Erase” feature solves this problem by providing an Erase
Button; simply press this button when an object is interfering with the object of
interest.
The sensitivity is automatically adjusted to enhance the detection of the object of
interest. As the ferrous properties of the interfering object changes, the ERASE
button can simply be pressed again to either increase or decrease sensitivity to
enhance the detection of the object of interest.
Pressing the ERASE button adjusts the sensitivity level to 60. If the interfering object
causes the sensitivity reading to approach 99, pressing the button will reduce
sensitivity to a reading of 60. If the sensitivity reading drops below 60, pressing the
button will increase sensitivity to 60.
5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT & TIPS
Battery Status Indicator - The battery condition is displayed with a bar-graph. As
the battery loses power, the bar graph displays less segments. Four levels of battery
condition are displayed as follows:
3-bars, full battery voltage
2-bars, sufficient battery power remains
1-bar, sufficient battery power remains, but they are approaching a
replacement condition
0-bars, batteries are exhausted. Replace batteries as soon as possible.
Note: When there is no active display icons, no sound or basic operation has ceased-
Batteries are dead and must be replaced immediately.
Replace the batteries as follows:
1: Turn the power off.
2: Turn the locator over, so battery compartment is facing up.
3: Squeeze the cover clip to release the compartment cover and open. Turn locator
over, so the battery compartment is facing down.
4: Place hand over the opening and tap the case...the battery pack will drop out into
your hand. Replace all of the batteries with new AA cells. Observe polarity markings.
5: Place the battery pack into the battery compartment with the two battery snaps
facing down. Press the pack into position. Press the cover down, until you hear a
‘click’ sound... the cover is securely in place...the locator is ready to use.
NOTE: Never attempt to replace batteries selectively. Always replace all six cells at the
same time. Preferably use Alkaline cells for longer operating and storage life. Dead
batteries must be removed or replaced immediately.
