SAFETY NOTICE

Safety precautions have been designed into

the detector. Extensive research has found no

information that would indicate scanning has

adverse effects on pregnancies or the operation

of electronic medical implants such as heart

pacemakers.

TO THE OWNER

Congratulations on your selection of the Garrett

Tactical Hand-Held Metal Detector. The Garrett

THD is an active hand-held metal detector

designed to detect metallic (ferrous, non-ferrous

and stainless steel) weapons, contraband or other

metal objects concealed or carried on a person.

The Garrett Tactical Hand-Held Metal Detector

has both visual and silent (vibrating) alarms and

offers outstanding performance as well as operat-

ing features not found in other Hand-Held

Detectors. With full 360ºPlus Tip detection

coverage, the detector is very effective in easily

detecting even the smallest of metallic objects.

Unique LED light alerts indicate target detection,

operational status and battery life information.

A bright LED flashlight at the tip of the

Garrett THD assists in dark and low-light

applications.

Screw-On Battery Cover—Makes changing the

single 9V battery quick and easy. No tools

required. Battery terminal access holes are keyed

to avoid improper installation of 9V battery.

Turn the detector on by pressing the "ON/OFF"

button; note that the green LED alert light is on.

During operation, the Garrett Tactical Hand-Held

Metal Detector will only detect metal when the

detector is in motion. Scan within approximately

one inch of the person being inspected. Vibration

will be felt and the Red LED alert light will

illuminate when metal is detected anywhere

within the detector's detection area. Operation is

completely automatic; no retuning or adjusting is

ever necessary. Ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless

steel metals will be detected. To scan feet and

ankles, "sweep" the Garrett THD perpendicularly

and approximately one to two inches above the

floor or ground.

Power Button—Easy push button power switch

turns the power of the detector on and off.

Light Alerts—The Red LED alert light illumi-

nates whenever a metallic target has been detect-

ed. The Green LED light alert remains illuminat-

ed while the detector is on. The Green alert light

will change to Amber when the battery needs to

be replaced. (Approximately 1-2 hours of use

remain once the amber light appears. No perfor-

mance degradation takes place until the battery is

fully depleted; when this occurs, operation

becomes erratic.)

LED Flashlight Button—When the power is on,

the LED flashlight button may be pressed and

held to activate the bright LED flashlight at the

tip of the unit. The LED flashlight turns off when

the flashlight button is released.

Vibrator—The quick acting, silent alert vibrator

activates whenever a metallic target has been

detected.

Please allow approximately one week for techni-

cians to examine and repair your instrument.

Battery Replacement—The Green LED light

alert will change to Amber when the battery is

low and needs to be replaced. Unscrew the battery

cover, tilt the detector and the battery will slip

out. Replace with fresh 9V battery; battery

contacts are so designed to only accept battery

poles in the proper position. If a 9V battery is

improperly installed, no circuitry damage will

occur; however, the Garrett THD will not oper-

ate. The battery cover will not close tightly

if the battery is inserted improperly, therefore,

never force the cover to close.

Remove the battery when the detector is to be

stored for more than 30 days.

Factory Service—Pack the detector carefully and

include full details concerning the problem, as

well as company name, contact person, address

and telephone number.
