Assembly Instructions

1. Remove all parts from shipping carton and

check the assembly page to make sure the kit is

complete.

2. There are rubber washers between clevis/lower

rod and loop ears. Use only the provided wash-

ers, fiber bolt, and thumbnut to secure loop/

search coil to clevis/lower rod.

3. Unlock rod camlocks and insert clevis/lower

rod into center rod. Center rod into curved "S" rod

so that stainless steel spring slip buttons line up

and lock into one of the adjustment holes. Turn

camlock to secure.

4. Unravel loop cable and wind the cable around

the clevis and rod assembly, first revolution over

the top of the rod. Wind cable all the way to the

top of the curved "S" rod, about five revolutions.

Use the black cable retainers, one near the loop,

and one behind the display, to hold the loop cable

in place. Plug loop connector into control box and

screw finger tight to secure.

5. Unlock control box rod camlock 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 camlock to secure. Plug loop con-

nector 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 floor. If the instrument fit 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 so that the search coil can be held near

the floor and remain standing comfortably.

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 firmly into place.

8. Adjust the elbow cup strap so that it is loose

enough for you to slide your arm in and out with-

out loosening each time you want to set the detec-

tor 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, lid

decal facing down, with plastic tab and steel contacts

facing toward inside of battery compartment.

10. It should be noted at this point that the detector

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. Additionally, freshly-buried

targets will not produce the normal depth and

discrimination results of targets that have been

naturally lost and settled in the ground. It may take

a number of years for freshly-buried targets to

respond at true depths and discriminate accurately.

The best way to determine true detection depth is

to use real search conditions.

Chapter 2 M6 Batteries

Using the

Standard Battery Holder

1. Slide open the battery holder lid (decal side of

battery holder) by applying gentle upward

pressure on the tab of the door so that it unlocks.

Slide the door away from the battery box

exposing the cell positions.

2. Remove any old cells from the holder. Note the

(+) and (-) positions of each cell and the (+)

and (-) for each position marked inside the cell

tray. Install new “AA” cells noting carefully the

correct (+) and (-) positions.

If the cells are installed incorrectly, the detector

may require service by an Authorized

Service Center.

3. Slide the door closed so that it snaps securely.

4. Insert the battery holder into the detector so that

the decal is facing down, with the battery

holder door tab and metal contact points facing

toward the inside of the battery compartment.

Close the battery compartment door and secure the

two latches on the bottom of the case. Hook the

front of each latch first, then press down on the

rear.

CAUTION

Battery Holder #802-7150

LIFT TAB AND PULL

Standard Battery Holder

1. The standard battery holder holds eight “AA”

cell batteries equalling 12 volts total. Alkalines are

recommended for use with this model. During

normal searching conditions you can expect about

40 hours of hunting time from a quality set of eight

alkaline batteries.

2. Non-alkaline batteries can be used in this holder.

When non-alkalines or rechargeable “AA”

cells are used, detecting time (before replacement/

recharge) may be reduced to about 30-35

hours.

3. The battery voltage appears automatically on the

display when the SENS knob is used to turn the M6

"ON". Once the batteries become weak (8 volts)

"Lo Bat" will automatically appear on the display

during searching. At that point the batteries should

be replaced. Alkalines provide some reserve time

after "Lo Bat" appears, rechargeables do not.

4. The battery compartment opens by gently

pulling down on the front of each of the two latches

(on the bottom of the control box) releasing the

catch and hinging open the door.

Chapter 2 M6 Batteries

Non-rechargeable batteries will start to drop in

voltage as soon as they are put into use and then

steadily diminish in voltage until they die. The

Nicad rechargeable battery pack, however, will

diminish very slowly (plateau) somewhat steadily,

then drop quickly.

Headphone use prolongs all battery life.

Battery life will vary a great deal with temperature,

number of target signals, battery type, brand, and

shelf life.

Alkaline Batteries may be used well into the "Lo

Bat" indication. Rechargeables can not.

Battery Packs are available (#802-7150). It is a

good idea to have a spare set when far away from a

new battery.

Rechargeable Battery

(Optional)

A rechargeable battery system is not standard

equipment with your M6, however, high quality

systems are available.

White's rechargeable battery #802-5211, and

charger #509-0022 are recommended and offer

quick charge and overnight charge options.

Rechargeable batteries deliver fairly constant

voltage until they're nearly dead. If you use them

until they are dead, they will deteriorate more

quickly than if you only use them until their voltage

starts to drop significantly. Rechargeables should be

taken out of the detector and recharged as soon as

you notice "Lo Bat" on the display.

Rechargeable batteries will not provide the same

amount of continuous use as a new set of Alkaline

batteries.

Quick Start

Instructions

With the M6 properly assembled and the

batteries installed, follow the instructions below to

start finding treasures!

Set the Auto Trac®Toggle to the

"On" position. "▼"

Set the Trigger Switch (under the hand

grip) to the center (Search) position.

Set DISC to " ".

Turn the SENS control clockwise until the

power clicks "ON". Rotate the SENS

control clockwise to "▼".

Lower the search coil to the ground, then

“pump” the coil up and down 2-4" a

couple of times and AutoTrac®will

automatically balance or track out the

ground mineralization.

Start swinging the search coil in wide

sweeps that overlap each other, as near

to the ground surface as possible, about one

second per foot.

If you experience false signals or constant

beeping or popping and you are not near

common sources of electrical interference,

set TRAC to LOCK and/or reduce SENS

(counterclockwise) slightly and try again.

* SPECIAL NOTICE* SPECIAL NOTICE

* SPECIAL NOTICE

If you attempt to demonstrate or test the

M6 by waving targets in the air in front of

the search coil, theAuto Trac®toggle

must be in the Lock position.

When the M6 Auto Trac®toggle is in the

"On" or "Beach" positions with no

ground present, it will think that the

target IS ground and will attempt to track

it out.

You may, however, demonstrate the fast

ground balancing feature of Trac "On" or

"Beach" by waving or pumping a miner-

alized rock in the air in front of the search

coil.

Chapter 4 M6 Display

M6 Display

The M6 display and reference label below the

display provide a wealth of information about the

metal target. The display information works best

after the solid repeatable audio "beep".

The display will momentarily show a software

version and battery voltage immediately after the

SENS knob is turned "on". The M6 operates on a

twelve volt battery system, new quality batteries

will indicate 12 + volts. After 35 to 40 hours of

operation,

"Lo Bat" will start appearing on the display at 8

volts and below. If using rechargeable batteries 8

volts is the end of their performance. If you are

using quality alkaline batteries you do have a small

reserve after 8 volts. Quality alkaline batteries will

provide extended normal performance well after the

"Lo Bat" warning.

The M6 provides 5 different significant indications

on the display.

1. VDI = number - The VDI (Visual Discrimina-

tion Indication) is a reference number dictated

mostly by the metal targets exact alloy, size, and

shape. The reference label below the display pro-

vides a comparison of known targets and their

common VDI numbers. Different metal targets may

share the same VDI numbers based on their electri-

cal characteristics. VDI numbers from -95 to +94

are available and cover the entire range of alloys

and sizes.

VDI number on display

VDI number range on reference label

The M6 (hand grip toggle forward position) has

seven distinct tone ranges that correspond

directly to the types of targets indicated on the

display. The lower the tone, the lower the VDI

number.

2. Blocks - A series of 16 blocks appear along the

bottom portion of the display and line up with the

indications on the reference label below the display.

It is important to note these blocks are from a

separate source than the VDI number and separate

sound provides a second opinion. A full block

indicates the M6 has complete information for

target identification.Ahalf block indicates the M6

has partial information. A quarter block indicates

the M6 has only a small amount of target informa-

tion.

3. Labels - The most common metal target (or

targets in some cases) within a particular Block is

listed on the display and referenced on the label

below the display. If two targets are listed, the first

to be listed is the most common, the second is less

common than the first.

4. Depth Indication - Trigger (on hand grip)

squeezed and held, the display indicates the depth

of coin sized metals. Starting at 12 inches and

indicating in descending order (as the target gets

closer to the bottom of the search coil) the indicator

provides an aid in better locating the target in the

ground (how deep you will need to dig) and

whether the metal target is likely worth digging.

Only the heavier more valued targets get deeper

into undisturbed ground. Foil will not sink deeply

into undisturbed ground. Targets that indicate depth

readings from 3-5 inches are not as predictable.

5. PP Blocks - Trigger (on the hand grip) squeezed

and held, the PP blocks aid in pinpointing the exact

center of the metal target. When the search coil is

directly over the center of the metal target (longest

possible length PP Blocks) the depth reading is

giving you the most accurate depth indication. With

some experience the relative size and shape of the

metal target can be recognized during pinpointing.

Chapter 4 M6 Display

Half block indicates target I.D. is not certain.

Note: In this case, the 1¢ is the probable ID.

NOTE: Please refer to page 18 for the proper "X"ing

technique to "Pinpoint the exact center of the target.
