T
2
is a new high-performance multi-purpose professional grade metal
detector. It utilizes the latest advances in electronic technology, and its functional design
represents the leading edge of the metal detector engineering art. The T
2
is easier to
learn to use properly than other comparable metal detectors. Its combination of light
weight and balance provides comfort unmatched by any other detector in its price range.
Its most popular uses include coinshooting, relic hunting, and gold prospecting.
HOW METAL DETECTORS WORK
Most hobby metal detectors use VLF Induction Balance technology. Here’s how they work.
The searchcoil (also called search head or loop) contains two electrical induction coils
which are like antennas. One coil transmits a rapidly alternating magnetic field,
illuminating the region surrounding the searchcoil. If metal is present, its electrical
conductivity distorts the magnetic field. If iron metal is present, its magnetism also
distorts the magnetic field, but in a different way, allowing the metal detector to
distinguish between ferrous and nonferrous metals.
The other coil is a receiving antenna which detects changes in the magnetic field
caused by the presence of metal. Electronic circuits amplify this weak signal, analyze
it to determine the changes which occur as the searchcoil sweeps over the target, and
then convey the information to the user in the form of a visual display or audio tones.
Most modern metal detectors perform many of these tasks in software running on an
internal microcomputer.
The iron minerals which are present in most soils also distort the magnetic field,
obscuring the weak signals of small or deep objects. This can cause the object to go
undetected, or to be misidentified when it is detected. Much of the technology that
goes into modern metal detectors is devoted to the task of eliminating the unwanted
signals from iron minerals in the soil, while not losing the signals from metal objects.

According to FCC part 15.21 Changes or Modifications made to this device not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with FCC Part 15 Subpart B Section 15.109 Class B.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
This radio transmitter 8188A-T2 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the
antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna
impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a
gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with
this device.
Antennas:
1. 5” DD Coil, Part Number 5COIL-T2
2. 10” COILDD-T2
3. 11” DD Coil, Part Number 11COIL-T2
4. 15” COIL-T2
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
Le présent émetteur radio 8188A-T2 a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner
avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et
l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette
liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour
l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son
gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas
l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
