Assembling your Time Ranger Metal Detector is easy and requires no special tools. Just follow these steps:
1. Using the supplied bolt and knurled knob, attach the searchcoil to the lower stem. Attach the control panel
with two knurled bolts (provided) to the upper stem.
2. Press the button on the upper end of the lower stem and slide the lower stem into the upper stem. Adjust
the stem to a length that lets you maintain a comfortable upright posture, with your arm relaxed at your side
and the searchcoil level to the ground and about 1/2 to 2 inches above the ground.
3. Wind the searchcoil cable around the stem. Leave enough slack in the cable to let you adjust the coil when
you are hunting on uneven ground. Then tighten the knob at the end of the searchcoil.
Note: To adjust the coil, simply loosen the knob.
4. Insert the coil's plug into the matching connector on the control housing. Be sure the holes and pins line up
correctly.
Cautions:
• Do not force the plug or you might damage it.
• To disconnect the cable, pull out the plug. Do not pull on the cable.
IMPORTANT: Your Time Ranger metal detector requires two 9-volt ALKALINE batteries.
Caution: Only use fresh batteries of the required size and type. Batteries must be Alkaline-type such as
Energizer No. 522.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. Carefully remove battery compartment door by pressing release clip at right side of door.
2. Snap one battery onto each of the terminals, and place the batteries inside the compartment.
3. Replace the compartment door by carefully inserting opposite side of clip first. Then press carefully down
on clip side until battery door snaps in place.
Notes:
Upon connecting the batteries, and turning the unit "ON", the battery indicator along with all other indicators
