Note: Leave enough slack at the bottom of the
cable near the coil to adjust the coil position
without straining the coil cable.
e) Use Velcro
TM
tabs to secure the cable in
position at the base of the shaft and where
the cable leaves the shaft.
f) Take the excess loose coil cable and wind it
through the belt bracket of the hipmount bag
prior to connecting onto the control box
(see figure 8).
g) Connect the coil connector to the socket on the rear of the control box
and tighten the locking nut.
4. Batteries
Your Eureka Gold is supplied with a rechargeable 12 Volt NiMH battery
pack and mains charger. A car charger is also available as an accessory
item from your authorised Minelab Dealer.

4.2 Installation of Alkaline Batteries
A 12 Volt battery pack to hold 8 ‘AA’ alkaline batteries is available as an
accessory item. These are useful to have as back-up if ever your NiMH
batteries are flat.
a) Ensure the detector is switched “Off” before opening the battery
compartment.
b) Slide open the lid on the battery pack.
c) Place 8 “AA” alkaline batteries (16) into the
base of the alkaline pack (15). Ensure they
are aligned as shown in figure 10 and as
indicated inside the compartment.
d) Slide the battery lid closed.
e) Place the base of the battery pack at the rear of the battery
compartment (A). Push the front edge of the battery pack firmly into
position (B). The two battery clips will “click” into position to securely
hold your battery pack in place (see figure 9).
Caution: Good quality alkaline batteries will power the Eureka for about 10
to 15 hours and should always be used instead of standard carbon
batteries. Alkaline batteries should be removed from the detector if it is to
be stored for extended periods to avoid damage caused by leaking batteries.
Using headphones will extend battery life.
