- 5. Detector Assembly Detector Assembly ENEN Attach Armrest 1. Lift the armrest lock until it is fully open. Slide the armrest onto the rail on top of the chassis. Ensure that the sloping sides of the armrest face toward the control panel. 2. Slide the armrest along the rail so that it will be positioned comfortably just below your elbow when holding the detector. 3. Push down the armrest lock to secure the armrest in position. Adjust Armrest Strap 1. Undo the hook and loop armrest strap. 2. Tighten the strap until your arm is secure in the armrest, and fasten. TIP To fit a smaller arm, the strap can be fitted upside down and passed through the armrest three times. 4. Lock the camlock by pushing the lever towards the shaft. Attach control box WARNING PINCH POINTS - CONTROL BOX Take care when sliding the control box onto the chassis. 1. Slide the control box partly onto the upper shaft. When it reaches half way it will click into place to prevent the control box from sliding while the connectors are fitted. 2. Attach the coil and control panel cables to their respective connectors and firmly tighten the retaining rings. NOTE To optimise performance, the retaining rings have fine threads for precise fitment. Take care not to cross-thread the retaining rings during assembly. 3. Slide the control box further along the upper shaft until it locks into place. Attach battery and headphone module 1. Fit the battery pack onto the control box and close the latches to secure it in place. NOTE The Lithium-Ion battery pack is supplied partially charged and should be charged for up to eight hours to maximise your first use. See ‘Charging Batteries’ for information on how to recharge the GPZ 7000 battery. 2. Fit the headphone module onto the control box. Use a screwdriver or coin to gently tighten the bolt, taking care not to damage the thread by over-tightening. 54
- 6. GA 10 Assembly GA 10 Assembly ENEN NOTE Adjust the position of the GA 10 on the shaft until it is comfortable when swinging the detector. Store the GA 10 To clip the GA 10 to the detector, lay the GA 10 shaft parallel to the detector’s shaft and slide the C‑clip into the guide arm attachment point on the detector. GA 10 Assembly The GA 10 Guide Arm is an optional attachment that helps to reduce fatigue during long detecting sessions. The GA 10 attaches to the mid shaft and features a Flex‑link and strap for easy adjustment. A C‑clip is included with the GA 10 so that it can be clipped to the detector when not in use. Assemble GA 10 1. Attach the shaft strap to the Flex-link by looping the end of the strap through the narrowest slot. Pull until the strap is captured by the Flex-link. 2. Attach the Flex‑link to the GA 10 shaft. Align the holes in the shaft with the key on the Flex-link. Push the Flex‑link onto the end of the shaft until it clicks into place. 3. Attach the C‑clip, with the hook pointing towards the GA 10 handle. Apply firm pressure to snap the clip onto the shaft. Attach GA 10 to your detector The GA 10 can be assembled to the detector for left or right handed use. These steps illustrate assembly for a right handed user. For left handed use, perform the same steps with the GA 10 on the left side of the detector. 1. Place the Flex-link approximately half way down the detector’s mid shaft. 2. Wrap the strap around the shaft and loop the end of the strap through the slot on the Flex-link. Pull the strap tight until the Flex‑link hook is through the first slot on the strap. 76
- 7. Connecting Headphones WM 12 Connection and Charging ENEN WM 12 Connection and Charging Ensure that your WM 12 battery is fully charged before you go detecting. Connecting WM 12 It is only necessary to perform the wireless connection procedure once. After initial connection, the detector and WM 12 will connect automatically when the WM 12 is turned on. To connect the WM 12 to your detector, navigate to ‘Connect WM 12’ in the Settings menu and select it to start the guide sequence. The Connect WM 12 Function During the guide sequence, a random available channel will be displayed. To change the channel, press the left or right Arrow buttons. Press Select to confirm the channel. Use the Wireless function on the Settings page to enable or disable wireless. Disabling wireless when you are not using the WM 12 is recommended to conserve detector battery life. The Wireless Function NOTE The WM 12 Connection LED may flash red occasionally when the WM 12 appears to be working correctly. This indicates a deterioration in radio communications and is for information only. Charging WM 12 Battery The WM 12 contains a rechargeable Li‑Ion battery, which can be charged by the Li-Ion battery charger or a standard USB port. 1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the WM 12. 2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the BC 10 battery charger or directly to a USB port on your PC. Connecting Headphones The GPZ 7000 does not have a built in speaker. There are three ways you can listen to audio: 1. Headphones connected to the detector 2. The WM 12 speaker 3. Headphones connected to the WM 12 Detector Audio To connect headphones directly to the detector, plug the headphone plug into the socket on the headphone module at the rear of the detector. If using waterproof accessory headphones, you will need to remove the headphone module from the control box and connect the headphones to the exposed headphone socket, remembering to tighten the retaining rings. NOTE The GPZ 7000 is not waterproof WM 12 Audio NOTE If you are using the WM 12 to listen to audio, attach the WM 12 to the same side of your body as the detector, using the supplied belt clip. This will ensure the most reliable wireless signal. To listen to audio via the WM 12, insert the headphone plug into the WM 12 headphone socket. The WM 12 must be wirelessly linked with the detector using a wireless connection process to hear audio. See ‘Connecting the WM 12’ for WM 12 connection instructions, or refer to your user manual on CD for more detailed information. NOTE The WM 12 can be used without headphones, as it has a built-in speaker. 98

It is very important to keep the coil as close as possible to the ground, and to sweep repeatedly over the same spot. The audio will quickly become quieter. 6 Start Detecting If you experience any difficulties using the detector after changing any settings, run the Quick Start guide sequence again to easily reset the detector and return to detecting. Take the Field Guide included with your GPZ 7000 when you go detecting for reference. Read the instruction manual on CD for more information on advanced operation of the detector. Charging Batteries BC 10 Battery Charger WARNING: Do not immerse the BC 10 charger in any liquid or allow water ingress. The BC 10 Battery Charger is supplied with your detector and is used to recharge the Li-Ion battery pack. The BC 10 can be powered by the following: •• The supplied AC plug pack (100-240V AC) •• Typical 12V DC car or 24V DC truck systems. (Using either the cigarette lighter plug cable or direct battery connection cable provided) A USB connection is provided for charging the WM 12. Plug pack, car charger,12/24V battery terminal connection WM 12 charger connection Recharge the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack 1. Remove the battery pack from the detector and place it into the charger, ensuring that the connector pins align. 2. Insert the plug pack, cigarette lighter or direct connection battery cable connector into the socket on the right hand side of the charger. 3. Plug the other end of the cable into the wall socket and turn on the switch, or plug into the car cigarette lighter socket. If using the direct battery connection cable first attach the black negative (−) clip to the negative (−) battery terminal, and then the red positive (+) clip to the positive (+) battery terminal. 1 2 4. Leave the battery to fully recharge. The green indicator light will stop flashing and remain static when the battery is fully charged (this may take up to four hours). 1110
