ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS -
1.
Remove all parts from shipping carton. Check the assembly page to make sure all parts are present.
2.
Use the provided rubber washers between clevis/lower rod and loop ears. Use only nonmetallic washers, fi ber bolt, and
thumbnut to secure loop/search coil to clevis/lower rod.
3.
Unlock “S” rod camlock and insert clevis/lower rod into curved “S” rod so that stainless steel spring clip buttons line up and
lock into one of the adjustment holes in the curved “S” rod. Turn camlock to secure. The second or third adjustment holes
are suitable for average size adults. Individuals 6’ or taller should use the fully extended position. Individuals well over 6’ tall
should purchase the optional Tall Man Fiber Lower Rod #500-0242-3 and/or #500-0240-1 Tall Man Aluminum “S” Rod.
4.
Unravel loop cable and wind the cable around the clevis and rod assembly, fi rst revolution over the top of the rod. Wind
cable all the way to the top of the curved “S” rod, about fi ve revolutions. Use the black cable retainers, one near the loop, and
one near the top of the curved “S” rod, to hold the loop cable in place.
5.
Unlock control box rod cam-lock and insert curved “S” rod so that stainless steel spring clip buttons line up and lock into the
rod on top of the control box. The “S” rod is designed to curve up toward the display. However, those who prefer to sweep the
loop close to their feet may desire to assemble the “S” rod to curve down toward the ground. Turn cam-lock to secure. Plug
loop connector into control box, screw lock ring to secure.
6.
Grip the instrument by the handle, with your arm in the elbow cup with strap secure, and sweep the loop/search coil over
the fl oor. If the instrument fi t feels uncomfortable, adjust the elbow cup by removing and repositioning the bolt/thumbnut and
installing in one of the optional positions. If necessary, readjust clevis/lower rod length with the spring clip buttons and cam-
lock so that the search coil can be held near the fl oor without requiring stooping over.
7.
Remove the protective paper from the two black elbow cup foam pads. Carefully align pads on the inside of the elbow cup,
one on each side of the center rod, and press fi rmly into place.
8.
Adjust the elbow cup strap so that it is loose enough for you to slide your arm in and out without loosening each time you
want to set the detector down. The elbow cup strap provides extra leverage and control. However, some prefer not to use it.
9.
Install battery as described in the next section, decal facing down, single larger plastic tab and steel contacts facing toward
inside of battery compartment.
10.
It should be noted at this point that the Spectra may not work as expected indoors due to the high degree of metals used
in modern construction. It is best to tune and practice (outdoors) to ensure stable, predictable results.
11.
Your Spectra is designed with an automatic turn OFF if the trigger on the grip (or another control) “is not used” for a period
of 30 minutes. This protects the battery from damage (absolute discharge) in case of an accidental turn on during travel or
storage. The Spectra will make a specifi c deep tone musical melody upon automatic turn off. To restart, simply press ON and
squeeze and release the trigger on the grip to resume searching. The Spectra returns to pre-turn-off settings.
