1. Pendahuluan
The Minelab Safari Universal Metal Detector utilizes Full Band Spectrum (FBS) multiple frequency technology, designed for deep, sensitive, and accurate detection. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your device, ensuring optimal performance in various ground conditions.
2. Informasi Keselamatan
Standard metal detector safety warnings apply. Always be aware of your surroundings and local regulations when operating the device. Avoid detecting in areas with unexploded ordnance, underground cables, or other hazardous materials. Exercise caution when digging to prevent injury or damage to property.
3. Pengaturan dan Perakitan
Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your Minelab Safari metal detector for use:
- Pasangkan Kumparan Pencarian: Securely connect the 11-inch Double-D waterproof search coil to the lower shaft. Ensure the cable is wrapped snugly around the shaft to prevent tangling and false signals.
- Merakit Poros: Connect the lower, middle, and upper shaft sections. The Safari features an adjustable length design for user comfort.
- Pasang Baterai: The detector requires 8 AA batteries. Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators, and close the compartment securely. Batteries are typically included with the product.
- Adjust Armrest and Shaft Length: Adjust the armrest and shaft length to a comfortable position that allows for a smooth, balanced swing. The robust design is intended for comfortable detecting over extended periods.

4. Petunjuk Pengoperasian
Familiarize yourself with the control panel and operating modes for effective metal detection.
4.1. Panel Kontrol Berakhirview

Figure 4.1: Minelab Safari control panel with display and buttons.
- Tombol power: Located on the left, press to turn the detector on or off.
- TARGET ID / DEPTH Display: Shows numerical target identification and estimated depth.
- Indikator BATERAI: Menampilkan tingkat baterai saat ini.
- Tombol Modus: Dedicated buttons for COIN, COIN & JEWELLERY, RELIC, and ALL METAL detection modes.
- Tombol Penunjuk: Activates pinpointing mode for precise target location.
- Tombol Peredam Kebisingan: Automatically selects the quietest operating channel.
- Menu/Settings Buttons: Used for navigating menus and adjusting settings such as sensitivity and target volume.
4.2. Operasi Dasar
- Nyalakan: Press the POWER button. The detector will perform a self-test and display the default operating screen.
- Select a Detection Mode: Choose one of the four pre-programmed modes (COIN, COIN & JEWELLERY, RELIC, ALL METAL) based on your target preference. Each mode optimizes settings for specific target types.
- Saldo Tanah: The Safari uses advanced digital filtering to automatically eliminate ground signal influence. This allows for seamless detecting without manual ground balancing in most conditions.
- Sesuaikan Sensitivitas: Use the menu buttons to adjust sensitivity. You can choose automatic sensitivity or manually set it from 1 to 20. Higher sensitivity increases depth but may also increase noise in mineralized ground.
- Putar Kumparan: Hold the detector with the coil parallel to the ground, sweeping it slowly from side to side in overlapping passes. Maintain a consistent height above the ground.
- Menginterpretasikan Sinyal: When a target is detected, the TARGET ID and DEPTH display will provide information, accompanied by audio tones. Higher conductivity targets (like silver) typically produce higher tones, while lower conductivity targets (like iron) produce lower tones.
- Pinpoint Target: Once a target is indicated, press the Pinpoint button. Move the coil slowly over the target area to locate its precise position using audio and visual indicators.
- Target Volume Adjust: Adapt the target signal volume to suit your preference using the menu settings.

5. Pemeliharaan
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your metal detector.
- Pembersihan: After each use, wipe down the detector, especially the search coil, with a damp kain untuk menghilangkan kotoran dan kotoran. Hindari penggunaan bahan kimia keras atau pembersih abrasif.
- Perawatan Baterai: The typical battery life is approximately 30 hours. Always remove batteries if the detector will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage. Carry spare batteries for longer detecting sessions.
- Penyimpanan: Simpan detektor di tempat yang kering dan sejuk, jauh dari sinar matahari langsung dan suhu ekstrem.
- Perlindungan Koil: The 11-inch Double-D coil is waterproof, but protect the control box from moisture. Avoid dropping or subjecting the coil to excessive impact.

6. Penyelesaian masalah
Bagian ini membahas masalah umum yang mungkin Anda temui.
| Masalah | Kemungkinan Penyebab | Larutan |
|---|---|---|
| Detector is slow or unresponsive. | Low battery power; highly mineralized ground; incorrect settings. | Replace batteries; reduce sensitivity; ensure proper ground balance (automatic). |
| Inaccurate pinpointing. | Incorrect pinpointing technique; highly trashy environment. | Practice pinpointing technique; sweep slower and more deliberately over the target. |
| Picks up too much junk/false signals. | High sensitivity; ALL METAL mode selected; highly trashy area. | Reduce sensitivity; use a discrimination mode (COIN, RELIC); practice interpreting audio tones. |
| Daya tahan baterai pendek. | Old or low-quality batteries; prolonged use. | Use fresh, high-quality AA batteries; carry spares for extended use. |
| Shaft locking mechanism wears out. | Frequent adjustment; wear and tear. | Handle with care during adjustments; contact Minelab support for replacement parts if necessary. |
