Volume control for the earbud
Press the volume control to cycle through the volume levels, medium, high, low, etc. The unit will beep or vibrate and will flash the red visual indicator to announce the new volume level: One beep/vibration/flash = low volume Two beeps/vibrations/flashes = medium volume Three beeps/vibrations/flashes = high volume When the earbud is plugged into the scanner, the audio speaker is deactivated. When the unit is turned off or the battery is removed, the ear bud volume level setting is retained in the memory.

Testing the scanner
· Turn on the scanner in the "On Audio" or "On Vibrate" mode. [. . . ] Use a 9V alkaline, 9V lithiummanganese 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. It is recommended that you replace the battery if the light is yellow.
Battery life
Based upon measurements, battery life for a 600 mA-hour alkaline battery at room temperature: On 216 hours 9 days Off 2880 hours 120 days Battery life is doubled with the 1200 mA-hour lithium-manganese dioxide batteries. Rechargeable 9V batteries can be used, but battery life per charging is typically much shorter than the life of 9V alkaline batteries, and depends upon battery type and the battery recharging system. 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 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 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 you may see different results.

Battery Installation
· Gently slide the battery door open. · Close the battery door.

De-Sense button
On the top edge of the scanner, there is a large rubber "De-Sense" button. When depressed, this button will reduce the detectors sensitivity by approximately 50%. This is particularly useful when scanning near rebar reinforced floors. The "De-Sense" is only activated as long as the button is depressed. While the De-Sense button is pressed the "ON/OFF" light (see page 4) will illuminate continuously. 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. 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. The pattern used to scan the front of the body should now be repeated over the back of the body. Ask the scannee to grab the edge of the table for support, then to lift one foot up in back of him or herself. 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. For the head area, start at the top of the forehead and scan around the top 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.
