Congratulations"on"selecting"the"
White’s"!"$$0+8+(:;<"pinpointer."
The"!"$$0+8+(:;<"is"unlike"any"other"
pinpointer"on"the"market."Using"the"
latest"miniaturized"components,"
we’ve"put"a"complete"ground@
balancing"Very"Low"Frequency"(VLF)"
circuit"inside"the":;<"housing."The"
!"$$0+8+(:;<"has"excellent"
sensitivity,"and"“grabs”"the"ground"
to"detect"deeper"targets."
The"!"$$0+8+(:;<"packs"in"more"
features"than"any"other"pinpointer."
Ratcheting"ground"grab,"
proportional"response,"selectable"
beeper"and/or"vibrator,"LED"light,"
lanyard"loops,"dual"battery"
operation,"and"a"weatherproof"
housing"with"depth"markings"make"
the"!"$$0+8+(:;<"the"most"complete"
pinpointer"on"the"market.
The"!"$$0+8+(:;<"can"accept"
either"two"AA"batteries"
(included)"or"a"single"9V"
battery."The"use"of"quality(
alkaline"batteries"is"critical"to"
proper"operation9"Using"low@
quality"standard"or""“heavy@
duty”"batteries"will"cause"
performance"problems"and"
quick"battery"exhaustion."
Rechargeable"NiMH"batteries"
also"work"well."
The"best"performance"and"
longest"run@time"is"achieved"
with"AA"Lithium"batteries,"
such"as"Energizer"Ultimate"
Lithium."Although"these"
batteries"are"more"expensive"
than"alkaline,"their"
exceptionally"long"life"makes"
them"less"expensive"to"use.""
Battery"installation"is"easy"and"

When"you"locate"a"target"with"your"
primary"detector,"before"digging"a"
hole,"use"the"!"$$0+8+(:;<(to"scan"
the"surface"of"the"ground."Do"this"

and"moving"it"around"the"suspected"
area."Often"the"target"will"be"less"
than"3”"deep"and"can"be"detected"
with"the"!"$$0+8+(:;<,"making"

difficult"to"pinpoint"and"may"be"in"
the"sidewall"of"the"hole."Be"sure"to"
scan"the"walls"of"the"hole."
Be"mindful"of"proper"digging"
techniques"when"extracting"the"
target."Use"the"smallest"appropriate"
digging"tool,"especially"in"public"
areas."Learn"to"cut"plugs"that"avoid"
