If the battery is fresh or recently recharged (more than 7V), the LED next to the ON/OFF button will produce a green light (see Page 8). If the battery is discharged to less than 7V, the LED will produce a yellow light and it is recommended that you replace the battery.De-Sense buttonEarbud volumeSensitivityStylus* To be determined by administration policy and supervisor control.
11888-778-9010 www.whiteselectronics.comOne 9V battery is included with the Matrix 100. Use a 9V-alkaline, 9V-lithium-manganese dioxide, or externally charged 9V-battery. If the battery is fresh or recently recharged (more than 7V), the LED next to the ON/OFF button will produce a green light. If the battery is discharged (less than 7V) the LED will flash a yellow light and it is recommended that you replace the battery.Battery Life Based upon measurements, battery life for a 600 mA-hour alkaline battery at room temperature is:Battery life is doubled with the 1200 mA-hour lithium-manganese dioxide batteries. Rechargeable 9V batteries can also be used, but battery life per charge is typically much shorter than the life of 9V-alkaline batteries, and depends upon the battery type and the battery recharging system. WARNINGDO NOT use the earbud jack as a recharging port! Use of the earbud jack as a recharging port may damage the Matrix 100 or the battery charger, and will void the warranty.Battery Temperature Ratings Alkaline batteries are rated by the following manufacturer: Energizer -18°C to 55°C (0°F to 130°F) Panasonic -20°C to 54°C (-4°F to 130°F) Lithium-manganese dioxide batteries are rated by the following manufacturer: Duracell -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) Energizer -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F) Ultralife -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)Manufacturer’s ratings are based upon operating loads quite different from the Matrix 100, so it is possible to have different results.* For information about special batteries that will operate at temperatures as low as -40°C contact White’s Electronics, Inc.BatteriesHours DaysON 216 9OFF 2880 120

This policy & procedure should be approved by the administrator and/or supervisor of the person using the scanner. • It is recommended that the operator “NOT” touch the individual being scanned with the detector.• The detector is not a weapon and should not be treated as such and will void the warranty. • Treat the detector with care. Do not abuse.National Institute of Justice Guidelines for use of handheld detectors in schools.While it is not difficult to learn to use a handheld metal detector correctly, school administrators should not underestimate the value of annual training for their operators, as well as training for staff who may be called upon to serve as backup or supplemental operators. However, on-the-job practice is important in allowing the school to achieve the type of throughput that will be required in order to process students quickly.Every school will want to tailor its own set of operator procedures to take into consideration its students’ and community needs. Some generic procedures: • The detector should be passed over the scannee’s body at a distance of no more than 3 to 4 inches. Avoid touching the body or clothing with the detector. However, for some baggier clothing, such as pants or jackets, it may be necessary to hold the detector against or more into the fabric while scanning in order to stay within 3 to 4 inches of all body surfaces.
16888-778-9010 www.whiteselectronics.com • Most handheld metal detectors should be set at their highest sensitivity; an exception to this is if there is significant interference from metal reinforcing in a floor or other nearby material that could cause constant alarms unless the detector’s sensitivity is turned down. • The body scan should be performed each time in the same pattern so that the operator always knows what parts of the body still need scanning. A sample routine is illustrated on Page 18. 1. Ask the scannee to place all carried items, plus any caps or headgear on a table (procedures for manual search of baggage are not covered in this text). The scannee should stand with his or her feet about 18 inches apart, facing away from the table and about 2 feet in front of it. Footprints outlined on the floor or drawn on a mat can greatly help position the scannee properly. Ask the scannee to hold his or her arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor. 2. Quickly run the handheld detector across some piece of conductive material on your own body, such as a belt buckle. The ensuing squeal of the detector will assure you that the scanner is still operating properly. 3. Start at the top of one shoulder of the scannee. With the paddle of the detector held horizontally and parallel to the front of the body, sweep down one side of the front of the torso, down the leg to the ankle, then move to the other ankle and sweep back up the front of this opposite leg and torso, ending with the opposite shoulder. (If a particular detector’s detection paddle is less than half the width of the average body, or if a particular body is wider than twice the width of the detection paddle, the pattern will have to be modified to achieve adequate coverage). 4. Sweep the detector paddle over the outside top of the arm from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the wrist, then up the inside of the arm to the armpit. Sweep down that side of the body to the ankle, then up the inside of that leg and down the inside of the opposite leg, then back up the other leg from the ankle to the underarm. Repeat the sweep of the inside and outside of this arm. Note that it would be particularly important to avoid touching the paddle up against the scannee’s body when scanning up and down between the legs. 5. Ask the scannee to turn around. (Arms can be put down now). The pattern used to scan the front of the body should now be repeated over the back of the body. 6. Ask the scannee to grab the edge of the table for support, then to lift one foot up in back of him or herself. Scan across the bottom of the shoe. Repeat for the other foot. The operator should expect to hear a short squeal from the detector when scanning the bottom of shoes or boots with steel shanks or steel toes. Both shoes should cause equivalent squeals. 7. For the head area, start at the top of the forehead and scan around the Scanning a Person
17888-778-9010 www.whiteselectronics.comtop of the head down to the back of the neck. • When the detector identifies a suspicious item and there is no visible source for the alarm (clothing is shielding the source object), ask the person to show you what they have in that area. For example, for an alarm along the arm or wrist, have the scannee pull up his or her shirt sleeve. Using your detector, duplicate the squeal you heard before, but now over the visible item. • Do not let the scannee influence you as to what is actually causing an alarm. For instance, if the detector denotes the presence of a suspicious item under a shirt sleeve, do not fail to completely investigate the source of the alarm even though the scannee assures you that it is just his or her watch. • If the person you are about to scan caused an alarm when walking through a portal metal detector, and your job is to try to locate the source of that alarm on his or her body, do not stop the complete scanning process just because you come across one alarm-causing item. Continue the scan even though you find one or more items in the process. • The lower abdominal area is particularly difficult to scan because this area is private in nature and because of the metal items usually found in this area: belt buckles, metal buttons or snaps, and metal zippers. When doing the initial front body scan, if an alarm occurs in this area, there are two possible ways to further investigate: a. Ask the scannee to undo any belt he or she might have on and have him or her pull the belt ends away from the middle of the body. Now scan the zipper area; your handheld metal detector should tell you if it is now only sensing a zipper and/or a metal snap, or if a more suspicious item is present and further investigation is needed. b. A second approach that some schools use is that, if the lower abdominal area is causing an alarm on the handheld detector, ask the scannee to bend the front of his or her front waistband forward, to ascertain that no weapon is hidden behind it. Facilities need to be available for situations where further investigation can be accomplished privately, but only in the presence of two or more school employees who are the same gender as the scannee.

18888-778-9010 www.whiteselectronics.comThis is an example of procedures for using a handheld metal detector that has at least a 10-inch zone of direction.(The preceding guidelines and illustrations were produced by the National Institute of Justice in their report titled The Appropriate and Effective Use of Security Technologies in U.S. Schools. National Institute of Justice, U.S. Department of Justice: Washington, DC (September 1999) Available online at: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/nij/pubs-sum/178265.htm)There have been no conclusive studies showing that the magnetic fields generated by handheld metal detectors will or will not affect personal medical electronic devices (PMEDs), such as pacemakers, cardiac defibrillators, infusion pumps, spinal cord stimulators, etc. Therefore, caution should be used when operating handheld metal detectors near people with the PMEDs.
