not locked, with the pole extending out in front of you at the
approximate angle shown in the photo.

You should be able to swing the detector back and forth in front of
you—using relaxed shoulder movement—while keeping the searchcoil
as close to the ground as possible. This swinging movement is often
called a “sweep.”

The searchcoil should not touch the ground during your sweep. The
pole length should be adjusted to allow this without having to lift the
detector with your elbow or shoulder. The searchcoil should rest about
one inch above the ground while you are standing erect. The angle of
the searchcoil should allow the bottom to be parallel to the ground.

The pole length is adjusted by depressing the spring buttons and
extending or shortening the pole until the spring buttons click into the
set of holes that give you the most comfortable pole length.

To adjust the searchcoil angle, simply loosen the searchcoil thumb nut slightly and move the searchcoil
into the desired position by hand. Tighten the searchcoil thumb nut by hand so that the searchcoil will
hold in place.

QUICKSTART - SELF-GUIDED TUTORIAL

The QuickStart is designed to help you use your new LOBO SuperTRAQ metal detector right away,
even if you have never used a detector before. Just follow each easy step carefully and you will learn
how to set up your detector for basic use. You will also be introduced to some important concepts such as
All Metal Operation (ALL MET) and Discrimination (DISC) along the way.

Your fully assembled LOBO SuperTRAQ
Three newer coins: a penny*, a nickel and a quarter
A nonmetal table or counter surface
Approximately 20 minutes to complete the QuickStart

*must be 1984 or newer—made of zinc

Before You Begin - Prepare for the QuickStart
