User's Manual

For almost effortless treasure hunting, the control housing is

easily removed from the handle and attached to a belt clip.

“Hipmounting” the 1280-X in this manner takes half the weight

off the handle and allows the land or shallow water Treasure

Hunter to search much longer without arm fatigue.

1. Grasp the handle grip firmly with one hand and

the control housing with the other.

2. Slide the control housing off the mounting

bracket by pulling it towards you.

3. Slide the belt clip into grooves on the bottom of

the control housing. This is a snug fit and you’ll have

to bend the belt clip slightly. Make sure the narrow

end of the clip goes into the grooves first and the

short hooked side faces out.

4. Unwrap just enough of the coil cable to allow

for searching.

Figure 3. You can hipmount your 1280-X by sliding the control housing from the handle

and attaching it to your belt. This reduces the weight of the stem, creating nearly

effortless hunting.
