ON/OFF Button There are three selections for the ON/OFF button: • ON Audio • ON Vibrate • OFF ON Audio—press the ON/OFF button once. This will be followed by a single, double, or triple beep to indicate the current sensitivity level setting. The green ON indicator LED will emit a single flash for low sensitivity, double flash for medium sensitivity or a triple flash for high sensitivity. ON Vibrate—press the ON/OFF button twice.
Sensitivity Control The unit is preset, at the factory, to medium sensitivity. The sensitivity level can be changed to the low, medium, or high level.* The Specifications List (see Page 20) shows the effect of the different sensitivity levels for detecting objects of various sizes. To change the sensitivity level, open the battery door and remove the stylus (see Page 7). Use the stylus to press the sensitivity control to cycle through the sensitivity levels,(low, medium, or high).
Volume Control for the Earbud The unit is preset, at the factory, to medium earbud volume. Adjustments to volume must be made in audio mode. Press the volume control to cycle through the volume levels of low, medium, or high.
Batteries One 9V battery is included with the Matrix 100. Use a 9V-alkaline, 9V-lithium-manganese dioxide, or externally charged 9V-battery. If the battery is fresh or recently recharged (more than 7V), the LED next to the ON/OFF button will produce a green light. If the battery is discharged (less than 7V) the LED will flash a yellow light and it is recommended that you replace the battery.
Battery Installation • Gently slide the battery door open. • Slide a 9V battery into the battery cavity as shown below. • Close the battery door. L 888-778-9010 12 www.whiteselectronics.
De-Sense button On the top edge of the scanner, there is a large rubber “De-sense” button.When depressed, this button will reduce the detectors sensitivity by approximately 50%. This is particularly useful when scanning near rebar reinforced floors. The “De-sense” is only activated as long as the button is depressed. While the “De-sense” button is pressed the ON/OFF LED (see Page 4) will illuminate continuously. If the battery is good, the LED will be green.
Earbud jack The earbud jack accepts a 3mm or 1/8" “Mono” connector. Earbud jack Earbud Jack Rubber Plug The rubber plug helps protect the earbud jack against dirt and moisture. Earbud jack rubber plug 888-778-9010 14 www.whiteselectronics.
Lanyard A lanyard is provided with each Matrix 100. The small nylon loop can be threaded through the lanyard hole and looped back through itself to secure the Matrix 100. The lanyard is tested to withhold approximately 25 pounds of force, before breaking. Scanning a Person • Warning: Follow the approved policy & procedure for scanning a person. This policy & procedure should be approved by the administrator and/or supervisor of the person using the scanner.
Scanning a Person • Most handheld metal detectors should be set at their highest sensitivity; an exception to this is if there is significant interference from metal reinforcing in a floor or other nearby material that could cause constant alarms unless the detector’s sensitivity is turned down. • The body scan should be performed each time in the same pattern so that the operator always knows what parts of the body still need scanning. A sample routine is illustrated on Page 18. 1.
Scanning a Person top of the head down to the back of the neck. • When the detector identifies a suspicious item and there is no visible source for the alarm (clothing is shielding the source object), ask the person to show you what they have in that area. For example, for an alarm along the arm or wrist, have the scannee pull up his or her shirt sleeve. Using your detector, duplicate the squeal you heard before, but now over the visible item.
Scanning a Person This is an example of procedures for using a handheld metal detector that has at least a 10-inch zone of direction.
