To change the detector’s sensitivity,
press SENSITIVITY or . A
double beep indicates the setting is at
the maximum or minimum. At
maximum sensitivity, a quarter can be
detected at a distance of approximately
8” to 9” from the search coil.
ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE
The principle use for the Sensitivity
Control is to eliminate Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI).
A hobby metal detector is an extremely sensitive device; the search coil creates its own magnetic field
and acts like an antenna. If your detector beeps erratically when the search coil is motionless, the
unit is probably detecting another electromagnetic field.
Common sources of EMI are electric power lines, both suspended and buried, motors, and household
appliances like computers and microwave ovens. Some indoor electronic devices, such as dimmer
switches used on household lighting, produce severe EMI and can cause the detector to beep
erratically. Other metal detectors also produce their own electromagnetic fields; so if detecting with
a friend, keep two metal detectors at least 6m (20 feet) apart.
If the detector beeps erratically,
REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY by pressing Sensitivity
on the left of the control panel.
SEVERE GROUND CONDITIONS
A secondary use for the Sensitivity Control is to reduce false detection signals caused by severe ground
conditions. While your Adventure 5500 contains circuitry to eliminate the signals caused by most
naturally occurring ground minerals, 100% of all ground conditions cannot be anticipated. Highly
magnetic soils found in mountainous and gold-prospecting locations can cause the detector to emit
tones when metal objects are not present. High saline content soils and sands can sometimes cause
the detector to false.
If the detector emits false, non-repeatable, signals, REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY.
MULTIPLE TARGETS
If you suspect the presence of deeper targets beneath a shallower target, reduce the sensitivity to
eliminate the detection of the deeper targets, in order to properly locate and identify the shallower
target.

Use ALKALINE batteries only.
To install the batteries:
●
1 Remove the battery cover by
disengaging the clip at the back.
●
2 Align the polarity of the batteries
correctly, with the positive "+"
toward the coil plug connection,
as indicated by the + and –
indicators on the housing.
●
3 Insert (2) 9-Volt ALKALINE
batteries, with the contacts
pointed inward, and press down
on the back of the batteries to
snap them into place.
Some brands of batteries will require moderate force to clear
the retaining tabs.
If the batteries fit loosely, and you want to guarantee a very
secure electrical contact, insert a piece of paper or thin cardboard
between the back of the battery and the supporting post.
●
4 Replace the battery door.
●
5 3-Segment Battery Indicators.
Segments Illuminated Battery Voltage
All three segments More than 8.5 volts
Two segments 7.6 to 8.5 volts
One segment 7.0 to 7.5 volts
No segments Less than 7.0 volts
The detector will stop working soon after all segments have disappeared (approximately 6.6 volts).
Most metal detector problems are due to improperly installed batteries, or the use of non-alkaline or
discharged batteries.
If the detector does not turn on, please check the
batteries.
If the detector does not turn on,
check to see that the batteries fit tightly. If the
batteries are loose, press them forward while pressing the POWER touchpad. To tighten up a loose
battery, wedge a piece of paper or thin cardboard between the back of the battery and the supporting
post, as illustrated above. You may also CAREFULLY pry back the battery contact clips inside the case
with a small flat-head screwdriver.
