Assembly
It doesn't take much
twisting of the earphones
and search head cables to
break wiring. So, when
you hook up or detach the
two cables, twist and
bend them as little as pos-
sible. Grip the cable con-
nector, not the cable, for
hookup or disassembly.
Remember that both
cables have to be hooked
up before you get a read-
ing on the electronics unit
(EU). If only one cable is
connected, nothing hap-
pens. Operators then
often think that some-
thing's wrong with the
EU or batteries.
Save your hearing by
turning the LOUDNESS
and
SENSITIVITY
knobs completely coun-
terclockwise before put-
ting on the headphones.
That lets you adjust the
signal's volume while
you're
listening
and
keeps you from suffering
a blow to your eardrums.
Once you have the
pole to the right length,
don't force the locking
knob too tight. That
eventually strips the knob
and makes it impossible
to lock the pole in place.
Snug is tight enough.
Keep the pole's top
cable clamp away from
the aluminum handle. If
the clamp touches the
aluminum, it can cause
signal interference. Put
the clamp no closer than
1
∕
2
inch from the handle.
Correct assembly
and disassembly
can make
all
the
difference in how
well your AN/PSS-12
mine detector
detects.
Grip connectors—not
cable—for hookup
Turn knobs completely
counterclockwise
before turning on
Turn knob
until it’s snug
Keep top clamp at least
1
∕
2
inch from handle
Hook up both cables
before turning on EU
Let’s
get it
together
here!
