Congratulaon on purchasing your
QUAVAR-PI
Audio/Haptic Aid & Digital Amp!
Metal detecting is a fascinating and rewarding ac-
tivity enjoyed by many people all over the world.
Deafness partial or profound, has made it difficult
and even impossible for some to take up or con-
tinue metal detecting. By getting to know and use
you Quavar, you will find that deafness in no
longer an impediment!
With the assistance of this device you too can be-
come one of the many, finding gold and other
treasures.
You to can go out there and have a good
Gold-Tecing Day!
We of Gold-Tec are wishing you
enjoyable & profitable adventures.

Introducon
The QUAVAR-PI is design for persons with a hear-
ing impairment, who are or desire to be Detectorists.
The device oers tacle percepon delivered by an
hapc transducer to the operator. The detector
dose not require to be operated without audio.
Audio has also been provided as teaching aid and for
operator with paral loss of hearing
The QUAVAR-PI has the ability to discern between
proper and false targets. For beginners this aid will
make it easier in reducing false targets and having to
do less digging.
Familiarise your self with your detector by reading
its manual.
Follow the simple step by step explanaons provid-
ed in our manual on seng up and linking the devic-
es.
We have also provided you with simple explanaon
to pre-set your detector and prospect without
SOUND.

Power Supply (Fig.2)
The QUAVAR-PI is power by a 1.5A Lithium rechargea-
ble baery. Included in the in the device is a dedicated
charger and baery protecon systems.
Note: The baery should be fully charged before use.
Charging from a car 12V DC outlet:
Select the unit car charging adaptor supplied with
your kit .
Insert the 2.1mm Female DC plug into the male
bulkhead DC ng (5).
Plug the cigaree lighter end into the 12V DC outlet
of your car.
Charge Status Indicator: (Fig.2)
Power ON, is displayed with a green LED (6).
When baery is charging s red LED (6) is on.
When fully charged the red LED will turn OFF.
You will have an 8-hour use me from a 3-4 hour
charge.
The QUAVAR-PI automacally adjusts to maintain au-
dio and detecng performance as the baery discharg-
es during use.

Audio Input Cable: (Fig.2)
Select the audio cable supplied in the kit.
Carefully insert the female 2 pin plug into the male
2 pin input plug (1) ed to the boom panel.
Screw the lock nut securely.
Hapc transducer: (Fig.1)
Select the audio/hapc Transducer.
Insert carefully the female 3 pin plug into the male
plug (2) ed to the boom of the panel.
Screw the lock nut securely.
Audio Amplier Output: (Fig.1)
The QUAVAR-PI provide audio amplicaon for the use
of an external speaker. The speaker can be used a
teaching aid, and for operator with paral loss of hear-
ing preferring to have sound.
The 6.5mm audio output jack (3) ed to the top
panel, is to be used with mini external speaker sup-
plied in the kit. The external speaker and hapc
transducer can be used at the same me.
ON/OFF Volume Switch: (Fig.1)
The switch (4) acvates the hapc transducer and
audio amp, as well as controlling the ampliers vol-
ume. The hapc system dose not require sound to
operate . The volume can turned down.

Setup Procedure (QUAVAR-PI & Metal Detector)
Once you have assemble the aachment to the device.
Clip it to the waist band of your harness, now you are
ready to tune your Detector To the QUAVAR-PI. It is a
very simple procedure. We are providing you with a
series of seng to suit Minelab pulse inducon detec-
tors series. Just fallow the steps.
Note: For the best tacle percepon, secure the hapc
transducer underneath your harness on the chest area
for maximum body contact.
Connect the QUAVAR-PI to your detector by in-
serng the 6.5mm male jack from the audio cable
of the device into your detector power pack or
baery audio output female jack.
Next turn on both machines and let the detector
go through its tuning cycle. On the QUAVAR-PI
adjust the volume of its external speaker to a
comfortable level. The hapc transducer acvates
automacally when the device is turned to the ON
posion.
SD & GP Series:
On your detector adjust the Audio Pitch (TONE).
With the SD & GP series the TONE level is to be
set to about 3/4 of the way up. Use the QUAVAR-
PI audio extension cable (GT3021) .
SDC Serie:
The SDC 2300 has two audio pitch sengs, High
and Low. For the Quavar-PI to funcon properly
the detector has to be set to the LOW Audio Pitch
(Tone) seng.
GPX Series:
With the GPX 5000 it is important to set the Audio
Tone to 43 or under so as not to overload the
QUAVAR-PI. Do not lower the seng below 40 or
raise the seng above 45.
GPZ Serie:
With the GPZ 7000 it is important to set the
Threshold Pitch to between 65 to 70. It has a pre-
set seng of 53.

dirt
Note: With the GPZ connect your QUAVAR-PI to the
audio output on the Wireless Receiver or directly to
the detector, using the Gold-Tec QUAVAR-PI audio
extension cable (GT3021).
Final Calibraon:
For best results do a nal adjustment. You will re-
quire 3 or 4 metallic targets, between say 0.5g to 2g.
Place the targets on the ground and pass the coil
over them. You should hear the sound through the
speaker and be able to feel the vibraon from the
transducer. The transducer will be mimicking (with a
slight delay) the audio output from your detector as
your coil passes over the targets. Once the proper
adjustment has been reached the transducer will on-
ly acvate for metallic targets.
Note: All detectors are slightly dierent. Therefore
the Audio pitch (TONE) may have to be adjusted on
your parcular machine to aain the right audio fre-
quency for the Hapc system to funcon properly.
The given values are just a benchmark to get you
started. If required, increase or lower the pitch unl
a happy medium is reached.

Tracking Speed: Set to medium
Please Note: When using the QUAVAR-PI hearing im-
pairment aid device, the detector’s AUDIO TONE must
be adjusted to a set pitch to able the HAPTIC system to
link with your metal detector.
This is important to set the Audio Tone to 43 or slightly
under has not to overload the QUAVAR-PI. Do not go
below 40 or above 45.
