ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS -

1. Remove all parts from shipping carton. Check the assembly page to make

sure all parts are present.

2. Use the provided rubber washers between clevis/lower rod and loop ears.

Use only nonmetallic washers, fiber bolt, and thumbnut to secure loop/search coil

to clevis/lower rod.

3. Unlock “S” rod camlock and insert clevis/lower rod into curved “S” rod

so that stainless steel spring clip buttons line up and lock into one of the

adjustment holes in the curved “S” rod. Turn camlock to secure. The second

or third adjustment holes are suitable for average size adults. Individuals 6’

or taller should use the fully extended position. Individuals well over 6’ tall

should purchase the optional Tall Man Fiber Lower Rod #500-0242-3 and/or

#500-0240-1 Tall Man Aluminum “S” Rod.

4. Unravel loop cable and wind the cable around the clevis and rod assembly,

first revolution over the top of the rod. Wind cable all the way to the top of the

curved “S” rod, about five revolutions. Use the black cable retainers, one near

the loop, and one near the top of the curved “S” rod, to hold the loop cable in

place.

5. Unlock control box rod cam-lock and insert curved “S” rod so that stainless

steel spring clip buttons line up and lock into the rod on top of the control box.

The “S” rod is designed to curve up toward the display. However, those who

prefer to sweep the loop close to their feet may desire to assemble the “S” rod

to curve down toward the ground. Turn cam-lock to secure. Plug loop connector

into control box, screw lock ring to secure.

6. Grip the instrument by the handle, with your arm in the elbow cup with strap

secure, and sweep the loop/search coil over the floor. If the instrument fit feels

uncomfortable, adjust the elbow cup by removing and repositioning the bolt/

thumbnut and installing in one of the optional positions. If necessary, readjust

clevis/lower rod length with the spring clip buttons and cam-lock so that the

search coil can be held near the floor without requiring stooping over.

7. Remove the protective paper from the two black elbow cup foam pads.

Carefully align pads on the inside of the elbow cup, one on each side of the

center rod, and press firmly into place.

8. Adjust the elbow cup strap so that it is loose enough for you to slide your arm

in and out without loosening each time you want to set the detector down. The

elbow cup strap provides extra leverage and control. However, some prefer not

to use it.

9. Install battery as described in the next section, decal facing down, single

larger plastic tab and steel contacts facing toward inside of battery compartment.

10. It should be noted at this point that the Spectra may not work as expected

indoors due to the high degree of metals used in modern construction. It is best

to tune and practice (outdoors) to ensure stable, predictable results.

11. Your Spectra is designed with an automatic turn OFF if the trigger on the grip

(or another control) “is not used” for a period of 30 minutes. This protects the

battery from damage (absolute discharge) in case of an accidental turn on during

travel or storage. The Spectra will make a specific deep tone musical melody

upon automatic turn off. To restart, simply press ON and squeeze and release

the trigger on the grip to resume searching. The Spectra returns to pre-turn-off

settings.

Batteries

The Spectra is provided with two battery packs. A rechargeable Nickel Metal

Hydride (NiMH) battery (Orange Decal) will require an initial 3-4 hour battery

charge.

Orange Decal

6 Spectra Assembly Guide

To begin using the Spectra immediately, use the back-up “AA” battery pack (Blue

Decal).

• The standard battery holder (Blue Decal) holds eight “AA” cell

batteries. Alkaline batteries are recommended for use with this battery holder.

• Non-alkaline batteries can be used in this holder. When non-alkaline

or rechargeable “AA” cells are used, detecting time (before replacement/

recharge) may be reduced or increased depending upon the type of battery

used.

• An ” Unhappy Battery Icon” will automatically appear on the

display (lower left status line) when the batteries become too low (8 volts) to

properly operate the Spectra.

• A headphone icon with a battery inside indicates the batteries are low

in the wireless headphone. See additional status indications on bottom of control

box.

• The battery compartment opens by gently pulling down on the front

of each of the two latches (on the bottom of the control box) releasing the catch

and hinging open the door. The non-rechargeable battery holder can use many

different types of batteries, including rechargeable. This holder is designed for

standard size “AA” batteries 50 mm ± .10 mm. Battery lengths shorter than this

will likely cause problems with this power supply.

• When the Spectra is turned on the battery voltage will momentarily

appear on the opening display (lower left). The degree the battery is filled, toward

+, indicates the battery condition. Full Fill = 100% battery life remaining, half fill =

50% battery life remaining.

• To recheck the battery voltage during searching, press MENU twice

and note battery voltage under BATTERY. Spectra operates correctly between 8

Volts “low battery” and 13 Volts. Squeeze and release Trigger on grip (twice) to

return to searching. Initial battery check voltage may indicate abnormally high.

With new Alkaline, or a fresh battery charge, the most accurate battery voltage

will be indicated after one hour of use.

Using the Standard Battery Holder

• Slide open the battery holder lid (decal side of battery holder) by applying

gentle upward pressure on the single large tab of the door so that it unlocks.

Slide the door away from the battery box exposing the cell positions.

• Remove any old cells from the holder. Note the “+” and “-“ positions of

each cell and the “+” and “-“ for each position marked inside the cell tray. Install

new “AA” cells noting carefully the correct (+) and (-) positions. If any of the

cells are installed incorrectly, battery life will be significantly reduced and/or the

Spectra may require service by an Authorized Service Center.

• Slide the door closed so that it snaps securely.

• Insert the battery holder into the detector so that the decal is

facing down, with the single larger battery holder door tab and metal contact

points facing toward the inside of the battery compartment. Close the battery

compartment door and secure the two latches on the bottom of the case. Hook

the front (nearest the door) of each latch first, and then snap down the rear

(furthest from the door).

8 Spectra Assembly Guide

NiMH Rechargeable Battery

• A rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery (Orange Decal)

is provided with your Spectra. This battery can be recharged hundreds of times.

Full charge can be achieved anytime during the discharge cycle (a non-memory

system). The provided “Smart Charger” and “Charging Cradle/Stand” sense

the type of charge the battery needs and automatically adjust the charge cycle.

From fully low this system provides a full charge in as little as 3-4 hours. A full

charge will last ten to twelve hours of normal use. Battery life will vary with

temperature, the number of targets found, and the exact settings used. Six hours

is not unusual for extreme high performance settings, or for batteries that have

experienced extensive use.

• The battery will lose its charge during storage. If stored inserted

in your instrument, this loss will be more significant. It is recommended that

the battery be removed from the Spectra during periods of storage. It is not

advisable to store rechargeable batteries for long periods of time without use (six

+ months). If extended storage is necessary, store with a charge (charged). If

possible, recharge at least once every six months of non-use.

• Do not discharge the battery in devices other than your metal

detector. Unnecessary discharging and/or an absolute discharge will reduce

battery life and may damage the battery. Unlike older rechargeable battery

designs, the rechargeable battery provided with your Spectra can be recharged

at any time. Regardless of whether or not it already has a partial charge, memory

will not occur.

• White’s has provided the leading edge NiMH rechargeable battery

technology with your Spectra. Disregard advice that conflicts with the above

recommendations. Care for batteries provided by other manufacturers, or with

other White’s models, may vary.

• Do not combine (use) any other battery, or any other battery charger,

not specifically designed to work with this system.

• The NiMH battery provided with your Spectra may be subject to

recycling laws in your area. It is the right thing to do and is often legally required.

If, perhaps many years in the future, you are uncertain as to where to return a

Spectra Assembly Guide 9

White’s NiMH batteries for recycling, please return it to the place of purchase or

any White’s Electronics Inc. address circling “the recycling” (trash can) portion of

the label.

• Charging

- Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. (110 volts for USA

models, 220 volts for UK models).

- To charge, insert the battery into the cradle / stand (only fits one way)

plug the charger plug into the back of the cradle / stand. Green light should glow.

- Green and Red Lights ON indicate battery and charger have made

a good connection and the battery is charging. The battery charger is designed

to charge a completely low battery in as little as 3-4 hours. However, no harm

will come to the system leaving it charging for several days (automatic trickle

charge).

- Red Light OFF, Green Light ON indicates battery is now fully charged

and ready for use and will now simply maintain the full charge indefinitely. It is

normal for the battery and charger to get warm during use. However, if either

the battery or the charger gets too hot to hold or deforms due to the heat,

discontinue use and return for testing.

- When using fresh batteries, the voltage will initially check somewhere

in the 10 to 13 volt area. Unlike standard batteries, the rechargeable battery

voltage will quickly drop somewhere between 9 and 11 volts and plateau there

for most of its life. Once the rechargeable battery voltage drops below this

plateau, it will quickly drop below a usable voltage level (8 volts) and thus require

a recharge. “Unhappy Battery Icon” will automatically appear on the display when

the battery approaches 8 volts. It is recommended to either recharge or switch

to “AA” pack when occasional unhappy battery starts to appear (flash) on display.

With a consistent unhappy battery, Spectra will not be operating properly and will

soon entirely cease to operate.
