RAPID GET YOU GOING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Assemble and adjust for length (Twist surplus lead around stem). 2. Insert batteries. 3. Set DISC 1 (top right) to ALL METAL (fully anticlockwise). 4. Set DISC 2 (bottom far right) to 5. 5. Set SENSITIVITY (top left) to 3 o'clock position. 6. On CS5MX only:Push BATT CHECK down and hold to indicate battery condition. Good batteries will be in the green area on the meter. Release. 7. On CS5MX only:Set BOOST to NORMAL. You are now in ALL METAL MOTION MODE.

INTRODUCTION To protect your investment complete both sections of the enclosed guarantee card and return the reply paid portion to C-Scope. This is particularly important in order to register for the free extended parts guarantee (UK only). Please retain the original packing box. In the event that your detector should ever require to be serviced, this package will be most suitable for postal protection. C-Scope detectors are recognised as the finest detectors available.
The batteries should be fitted in the holder which is located in the battery compartment. To fit new batteries first check the power switch on the unit is switched to OFF. Then loosen the two captive screws located in the battery cover (do not fully remove these from the cover) and remove the cover. Inside is the battery holder. Lift out the holder and detach the connector if it is already fitted.

ON/OFF - SENSITIVITY Switches detector on by rotating clockwise and adjusts sensitivity to metal. This is a silent operating detector and you should rotate the Sensitivity Control clockwise to the position where the audio threshold tone is comfortable.
Effect of Discriminate Control Position CIGARETTE PACKET MILK BOTTLE TOP 5p COIN RING PULL HORSESHOE NAIL SCREW CAP 3. DISC 2 This control is identical to Disc 1 and allows you to further identify the target signal being received. With Disc 1 set at 5 to reject small iron and silver foil, commence searching. Remember the detector is a motion detector, which means that the search head needs to be constantly sweeping (except in pinpoint mode - see page 9).
The more familiar you become with your metal detector the more skilful combinations of Disc 1 & 2 you will use. The following chart gives a few ideas of setting and the conditions under which you would employ them. DISC SETTING REF DISC 1 DISC 2 WHEN USED A 0 0 All metal detecting. B 5 0 Dig all signals. C 5 7 To analyse possible ring pulls etc (see above). D 5 10 If searching for modern currency (e.g. £1 coins) in a highly screw cap contaminated site (e.g. picnic area).
1. 2. Move the search head to a known clear patch. Hold the pinpoint button down and return the head to the target area; move it slowly and listen for the peak response, or observe it on the meter. The all metal pinpointing mode gives a positive response to all metals irrespective of the Discrimination setting. It is not necessary to sweep the target as the pinpoint mode will respond even when held stationary over the object although the target will fade gradually if the head is held over it for too long.
OPERATING YOUR METAL DETECTOR Check the batteries are in good condition prior to searching. Frequently check the battery condition during the search. Rechargeables give little warning of failure so ensure they are fully charged prior to a long period of searching or carry a fresh set with you. ( See Batteries, page 4). The unit may operate with reduced sensitivity for a period after indicating 'flat' batteries. However the batteries should be replaced or recharged at the first opportunity.
ACCESSORIES (OPTIONAL) Available from C-Scope. Headphones: Headphones not only extend battery life but improve sensitivity by cutting extraneous noise. The headphones should be fitted with a standard stereo 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jack plug. The headphone socket is located under the protective cap in the battery housing. Rechargeable battery pack: A shrink wrapped pack of 8 rechargeable nicad batteries to replace the standard batteries and holder.
A successful search should begin with research some time before the day of the actual search. The extent and thoroughness of your research will be one of the major factors in the success of your detecting. You should aim to get as complete an understanding as possible of the local history and geography. The key to the choice of site is to think of people, where they congregated over the past few hundred years.
Search Head Position A B C D It is essential that the search head is kept close and parallel to the ground as in B. Do not hold the search head too high above the ground, or at an odd angle as in A, C, D as you will be apt to miss finds. SWEEPING TECHNIQUE For extremely small object searching, such as coins, rings, nuggets, etc. lower the search coil to within 1 inch of the ground. Sweeping the coil from side to side in a straight line in front of you.
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR METAL DETECTOR USERS 1. Do not trespass. Ask permission before venturing on to any private land. 2. Respect the Country Code. Do not leave gates open when crossing fields, and do not damage crops or frighten animals. 3. Do not leave a mess. It is simple to extract a coin or other small objects buried a few inches under the ground without digging a great hole.
DETECTOR NOT OPERATING? (a) Check the condition of batteries under load using the meter. (See Battery Check Procedure). (b) Check that the search head is properly attached to the control box via the search head cable connector. (c) Interchange batteries and ensure connections are correct and secure. Battery life can vary tremendously between makes, therefore your 'new' batteries may already be insufficiently powerful to run the detector.
Further Information If you experience any difficulty in operating your metal detector, or have any questions on the information in your Operating Instructions Manual, please do not hesitate to phone our Customer Service Department on (01233) 629181. Before returning a detector for repair to C-Scope ensure you have done the following:(a) Read the instructions thoroughly. (b) Tried new batteries and checked procedure outlined above. (c) Return your detector with a letter giving full details of fault.
