“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 and the green ON indicator light will emit a single flash for low sensitivity, double flash for medium sensitivity or a triple flash for high sensitivity. • Turn the unit off by pressing the ON/OFF button once. The ON indicator light will disappear.
Sensitivity control The unit is preset, at the factory, to medium sensitivity. You can change sensitivity to the low, medium or high level.* The Specifications list (page 20) shows the effect of the different sensitivity levels for detecting objects of various sizes. Open the battery door and remove the stylus from inside the battery door (see page 7). Use the stylus to press the sensitivity control to cycle through the sensitivity levels, medium, high, low, etc.
Volume control for the earbud Press the volume control to cycle through the volume levels, medium, high, low, etc. The unit will beep or vibrate and will flash the red visual indicator to announce the new volume level: One beep/vibration/flash = low volume Two beeps/vibrations/flashes = medium volume Three beeps/vibrations/flashes = high volume When the earbud is plugged into the scanner, the audio speaker is deactivated.
Batteries One 9V battery is included with the detector. Use a 9V alkaline, 9V lithiummanganese 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. It is recommended that you replace the battery if the light is yellow.
High temperature batteries: For information about special batteries that will operate at temperatures as low as -40°C contact White’s Electronics, Inc. Battery Installation • Gently slide the battery door open. • Slide a 9 volt battery into the battery cavity. • Close the battery door.
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” light (see page 4) will illuminate continuously. If the battery is good the light will be green.
Earbud jack The earbud jack accepts a 3mm or 1/8” “Mono” connector. Earbud jack rubber plug Helps protect against dirt and moisture.
Lanyard A lanyard is provided with the unit. The small nylon loop can be threaded through the lanyard hole and looped back through itself to secure the unit. 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.
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. Ask the scannee to place all carried items, plus any caps or headgear on a table (procedures for manual search of baggage are not covered in this text).
• 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. • Do not let the scannee influence you as to what is actually causing an alarm.
This is an example of procedures for using a handheld metal detector that has at least a 10inch zone of direction.
