The Adventure 5500 is a professional metal

detector. While the most difficult aspects of metal

detecting have been automated, it is a sophisticated electronic

device which requires an understanding of some basic features and metal

detecting concepts.

If you do not have prior experience with a metal detector, we strongly

recommend that you:

1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting in the event of false

signals. Always begin use at a reduced sensitivity level; increase to

full sensitivity after you have become familiar with the detector.

2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for outdoor use only. Many

household appliances emit electromagnetic energy, which can interfere

with the detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration, turn the

sensitivity down and keep the searchcoil away from appliances such as

computers, televisions and microwave ovens. If your detector beeps

erratically, turn off appliances and lights, especially those with dimmer

switches.

Also keep the searchcoil away from objects containing metal, such as

floors and walls.

3) Read this manual. Most importantly, review the

Quick-Start Demo (p.7-8) and Basic Operation (p. 9-11).

4) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.

Do not use Heavy Duty Batteries.
