Experiment with all of your targets in the ALL METALS mode. Notice that the target can be
held still above the coil and still cause your detector to emit a tone (The Quick Draw still
requires movement to detect a target in the ALL METALS mode). All tones are now the
same pitch and do not vary.
Battery Life & Care
Batteries are very critical in the operation of your Bounty Hunter. If your detector ever
malfunctions, it usually can be attributed to bad batteries.
A few precautionary measures can add life to your batteries, prevent damage and increase
performance.
1. Use Headphones: By using headphones you're stressing the batteries far less,
especially on the audio side, and consequently increasing their life.
2. Buy Quality Batteries: for longer life and maximum performance, Alkaline batteries are
necessary.
3. Switching Batteries: By switching the left battery with the right, halfway through their
estimated life, you will be balancing the energy draw. One of the batteries drives the audio
on your unit and has more drain on average than the other battery.
4. Store Batteries Properly: Never leave your batteries in the unit for long periods when not
using your detector. Battery leakage can occur damaging the battery compartment and
possibly the circuitry.
5. Rechargeables: 9-Volt Rechargeable batteries can be used in the Bounty Hunter but do
not expect the same life or performance that a commercial Alkaline battery provides.
Further Notes on Batteries:
The best way to increase your battery life is to use headphones whenever possible. It is
recommended to use headphones with left/right volume controls which adds to the
versatility of your unit.
Alkaline batteries, in comparison with carbon cell batteries, will increase the performance of
your Bounty Hunter and are highly recommended by the manufacturer. Keep in mind, other
9-volt batteries do work but with a major sacrifice in performance and longevity. For
instance, it is possible to use rechargeable batteries-only be forewarned, they do not last
very long-maybe 4-5 hours only. External rechargeable battery units are now available for
9-volt batteries. Carry extra rechargeables to insure being able to hunt for a full day. This is
your option and is not recommended by the manufacturer.
Taking the Bounty Hunter to the Field
After having properly learned how to air test your detector, you are now more prepared to
hit the field. As a foundation, air testing makes you more aware of what to expect in the field.
No doubt, the field will pose many new problems that air testing does not solve.
