Remove all pieces from the Infinium LS box. All assembly hardware is located in a clear plastic bag inside the bag containing the control housing pouch. 1. The cuff on the end of the s-handle has been factory installed. T est its placement by grasping the black-rubbered s-handle (Figure 1).
Tighten with bolt, washers and nut. 3. Insert spring clip into the black stem piece (Figure 4). Insert black stem piece into bottom of silver stem. (Y ou may need to adjust the length of the stem after the searchcoil is attached to suit individual needs.
5. Insert black plastic bolt through the mounting holes of the searchcoil and the stem (Figure 6). Attach black cap to the threaded end of the screw and tighten (Figure 7). DO NOT use tools. 6. Wrap cable around the stem and secure it according to your operat- ing configuration.

left bracket, stem and right bracket (Figure 12). Tighten both nuts. NOTE: keep pouch and belt in a safe place in case you decide to use the pouch configuration at a later date. Belt Mount: A. Unfasten velcro strap on pouch. Slide control housing, control buttons up, into the pouch.
9. Repeat Step 8 when inserting the head- phone connector at the front of the control housing. 10. Perform a battery test by switching the detector on. Note the number of beeps that occur . Four beeps indicate the batteries are full. One beep indicates they need to be replaced/recharged.
12 SEARCHCOILS The Infinium LS comes standard with a 10" x 14" Power DD searchcoil. The DD coil configuration couples with the API technology of the Infinium LS make it the most powerful detector in mineralized soil. In areas where the ground is low in mineraliza- tion, the optional 10" x 14" mono searchcoil is recom- mended.
13 Figure 15 CONTROL FUNCTIONS Power Used to turn on the detector and to choose slow , lock or fast Automatic Ground Track . A battery check occurs automatically each time the power is switched on. (Figure 15.) Audio Threshold Adjustment Used to set the base audio level according to an individual's hearing requirements.
14 BASIC OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS Discrimination Adjustment Used to set the desired level of discrimination. (Figure 15.) The following procedure shows how easy it is to operate the Infinium LS . 1. T urn On/Battery T est: T urn the detector on and note the results of the battery test represented by a range of one to four beeps.
15 recommended for maximum detection depth unless: A. The detector is not properly ground balanced, or B. Y ou are hunting in changing ground mineralization conditions that require continuous ground tracking. Improper ground balance or changing ground mineralization are identified by erratic audio signals caused by the ground.
16 Use Fast when: A. Hunting over extreme or quickly changing ground mineralization, or B. When large ground balancing adjustments are needed. Improper ground balance will degrade detection depth and audio stability . It should not be necessary to reground-balance every time you turn the machine on.
17 your search area and determine the kinds of metal items you want eliminated from detection. With zero discrimination, you will achieve maximum detection depth and will detect all metals including foil and pull- tabs, but you won't miss any desirable targets.
to the audio tones, noting which targets produce high and low tones and how the tar- get response changes with discrimination. As a general rule, poor conductors (small nuggets, most rings, pull-tabs, nick- els, etc.) should pro- duce a high tone followed by a low-tone echo.
19 7. Reverse Discrimination T echnique: When a target has been discovered while operating at minimum discrimination, you may use the reverse discrimination technique to help determine possible target identification. A. Once a target is found, increase discrimination to maximum level (Iron Check).
20 8. Pinpointing Tips Whenever your detector locates a target, locating it precisely will enable you to recover it by digging the smallest hole possible. This is accomplished by pinpointing. Note that pinpointing with a DD searchcoil is somewhat different than pinpointing with a mono searchcoil.
21 Pinpointing with Mono Searchcoils First, slowly scan the searchcoil from side-to-side over the target area, noting the location where the loudest signal occurs. Then draw an imaginary "X" on the ground by scanning the searchcoil front-to-back and again noting the location of the loudest signal.
22 HUNTING APPLICA TIONS Once you obtain the quietest frequency , return the Threshold knob to your normal setting and the frequency will lock at the chosen value. Y ou can then return the Discrimination knob back to your normal setting. When the detector is turned OFF/ON, it will always return to its factory default operating frequency .
23 SEARCH AND RECOVERY TIPS Do research. The first rule of successful treasure hunting, whether on land or in the sea is to do your homework. Learn as much as you can about the areas you wish to search, the kind of treasure you want to find and the best ways to recover it.
24 Use the right recovery tools. Use the right tool for the job and you'll recover trea- sure in no time. Knowing what you're digging for and the kind of surface you're digging into will help you choose the proper digging tool.
25 remove the batteries immediately , rinse the com- partment with fresh water and allow to air dry . The electronics compartment is factory sealed and should never be opened. 3. Before diving always examine the searchcoil and headphone connectors, the battery cap and verify the battery strength.
26 Increase the Discrimination setting only as needed in order to reduce saltwater detection. T ypically , a setting of three or less is sufficient. Do not be con- cerned about missing targets due to the increased Discrimination.
27 Gold is generally found in rock formations along with a great many other conductive/ferrous minerals. A high quality detector , such as the Infinium LS with its Advanced Pulse Induction technology that cancels out mineralization, can be used to find this gold or any other precious metal.
28 Y our Garrett detector is a sensitive electronic instrument. It is built to withstand rugged treatment in the outdoors. Use the Infinium LS to the fullest extent possible, and never feel that you have to baby it. Y et, always handle it with reasonable care.
29 BA TTER Y REPLACEMENT Figure 18 Figure 17 T o access the battery pack, unscrew the battery cap at the rear of the detector housing by hand; DO NOT use tools.
30 RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES Accessories to assist you in your treasure hunting adventures with the Infinium LS : • # 2216900 -The 10" x 14" Mono searchcoil should be used to increase detection depth and sensitivity in light to moderately mineralized soil and is ideal for detecting larger items on land and/or underwater .
31 SPECIFICA TIONS Circuit type: Advanced Pulse Induction (API) technology , automatic cancellation of salt/ground mineralization Frequency: 730 pulses per second. Submersion depth: Up to 200 feet (65 meters) or seven atmospheres. Buoyancy: Near neutral.
32 REP AIR SERVICE If you have difficulty operating the Infinium LS , take a few minutes to re-read this Manual and check the batteries, settings and connectors. If your Infinium LS needs repair , you should return it to the factory accompanied by a detailed letter describing the problem(s).
33 W ARNING The following measures must be observed at all times: • DO NOT hunt in areas where electric lines, gas/ water pipelines, bombs or other explosives may be buried. • NEVER trespass or hunt on private property without permission. • NA TIONAL and ST A TE parks, monuments, military sites, etc.
DETECTING CODE OF ETHICS 34 Filling holes and obeying no trespassing signs are but two requirements of a dedicated metal detec- tor hobbyist. A sincere request that Charles Garrett makes to every user of one of his detectors is that each place searched be left in a better condition than it was found.
35 • I will not destroy property , buildings or the remains of ghost towns and other deserted structures. • I will not leave litter or uncovered items lying around.
