Garrett pro-pointer ii [4/5] Operational information and tips

Operational Information and Tips

• Operation is completely automatic. All metals will be detected

including ferrous and non-ferrous.

• When a target is detected, the Pro-Pointer II will produce

an audio and vibration alert. The rate of the pulsing audio and

vibrations increase proportionately as the pinpointer is moved closer

to a metallic target.

• Maximum detection of very small targets is obtained against the side

about ½” from the tip.

• To avoid cancelling out a target, do not turn on the Pro-Pointer II while

it is adjacent to the target.

• Because the Pro-Pointer II is a static, non-motion detector, optimum

operation is achieved when the unit is switched off between uses.

• Avoid using the Pro-Pointer II as a digging or prying tool. It is designed

for flat side-scanning and precise pinpointing with its tip. It is not

intended to be used with excessive force.

• Make sure the battery cap threads are free of sand, sediment, etc. and

that the O-ring is periodically lubricated with silicone grease to maintain

a tight seal.

• To remove dried dirt, mud or other debris from the unit, simply hand

wash with soap, water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with running water.

Do not use any type of abrasive or chemical cleaners which could scratch

or erode its surface. The Pro-Pointer II is water resistant; however, avoid

spraying water directly into the speaker grill and do not submerge the

entire detector in water.

• Do not affix metallic labels (or any material that might cause the

detector to alarm) to the detection area of the Pro-Pointer II.

• The Pro-Pointer’s static mode makes it an excellent utility locator to

find metal studs and pipes in walls or nails in the drywall. Use a side-

scan technique to quickly cover large areas and then use the pinpointing

tip to precisely locate the target.

Weather Resistancy and Water Use Information

The Garrett Pro-Pointer II meets IEC 60529 IP 66 dust and water-

resistancy standards. This allows you to search muddy and wet areas, and to

hunt in the rain, without concern of damaging your pinpointer. The detection

portion of the Pro-Pointer II may be submerged. It is recommended that the

unit not be submerged beyond the power switch.
