[?] Looking for user manual on Micronta 4001 (ex Tandy) meta |
|
|
Hi,
Can anyone suggest where I can obtain a copy of the user manual for a
very ancient Micronta 4001 metal detector that was sold in the UK many
years ago by Tandy stores?
Yes, I know it's out of the Ark but at least it'll be useful for
keeping the grandchildren quiet for a few hours. ;-)
TIA - Dave

You might want to have a look at;
http://support.radioshack.com/productinfo/ProductResults.asp?Name=Metal_
Detectors&ID=009003
See if it's one of the manuals listed.

Thanks Sean, but that was the first place that I looked, without
success, hence my posting.

Yes, it seems to be working OK but I'd like to get clarification of
the function of a red push-button mounted on the carrying handle. This
seems to set the detection threshold and affects the adjustment of the
'Discriminator' control.
Quite simply, I'd rather like to RTFM. ;-)

There's a manual for the Micronta 3001 and 3003/4003 here
http://website.lineone.net/~johngl1/page9.html
They might be similar enough to the 4001 to help you.

Dave-
If you search by the catalog number instead of just the "4001", you may
find more information.
As others suggested, the 4003 manual might help if you can't find the 4001.
I have the Micronta 4003, catalog number 63-3003. The red button is for
"auto tune", used to return the meter to zero when it drifts. It is first
set to zero with the coil in mid-air, using the Tune contol.
