tion, reengage the armrest lock�

The ATX can be operated with the stems fully collapsed (preferred for

shallow diving), fully extended, or anywhere in between� To extend the tele-

scopic stem to the desired operating length, begin by loosening the bottom

stem nut closest to the search coil� Fully extend the bottom stem and tighten

the bottom stem nut� Then, loosen the middle stem nut, extend the middle

stem, and tighten the nut. The upper stem should be used for nal adjust-

ments to the desired operating length�

ing forward) and swing the coil in front of you without stretching or bending�
