3. Setup Guide

3.1 Unboxing and Components

Upon opening the package, verify that all components are present:

• Garrett Pro-Pointer A.T. Pinpointer
• Woven Belt Holster
• 9V Battery (included)

3.2 Battery Installation

The Pro-Pointer A.T. operates on one 9V battery (included). To install the battery:

1. Locate the battery cap at the rear end of the pinpointer.
2. Unscrew the battery cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Insert the 9V battery into the compartment, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings inside the compartment.
4. Screw the battery cap back on clockwise until it is finger-tight. For waterproof operation, ensure the cap is securely sealed to prevent water ingress.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On/Off

To turn the Pro-Pointer A.T. on, press and hold the power button located on the side of the device until you hear a short series of beeps. To turn it off, press and hold the power button again until the device powers down.

4.2 Sensitivity Adjustment and Retuning

The Pro-Pointer A.T. features adjustable sensitivity to optimize performance in various ground conditions and to narrow the detection field for precise pinpointing. To adjust sensitivity or retune the device:

• Automatic Retuning: A quick press of the power button will instantly retune the device, narrowing the detection field and allowing for more precise target location. This is useful for eliminating the effects of mineralized ground or large targets.
• Sensitivity Levels: The device has three sensitivity levels. To cycle through them, press and hold the power button for approximately 2 seconds until you hear a series of beeps indicating the new level. Repeat to cycle through all levels.

4.3 Pinpointing and Detection

Once powered on, sweep the tip of the Pro-Pointer A.T. over the area where a target is suspected. The device will emit an audible beep and vibrate with increasing intensity as it approaches a metallic object. The 360-degree side-scan detection allows for broad area scanning, while the precise tip is ideal for pinpointing the exact location of the target within the hole.

4.4 Waterproof Operation

The Pro-Pointer A.T. is designed for use in wet environments and is fully submersible up to 20 feet (6 meters). Ensure the battery cap is securely tightened before any water immersion. After use in saltwater, rinse the device thoroughly with fresh water to prevent corrosion.

4.5 LED Flashlight

The integrated LED flashlight automatically illuminates when the device is powered on, providing visibility in low-light conditions or when searching in dark holes. This feature cannot be turned off independently of the device's power.

5. Care and Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

After each use, especially in dirty or wet conditions, clean the Pro-Pointer A.T. with a damp cloth. If used in saltwater, rinse the entire device with fresh water immediately to prevent salt buildup and corrosion. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

5.2 Storage

Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for an extended period (more than 30 days), remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage and potential damage to the electronics.

5.3 Battery Care

Always use fresh, high-quality 9V alkaline batteries. If the device exhibits weak performance or inconsistent operation, replace the battery. Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
