Troubleshooting
Detector does not power on.
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and fully charged. Check the battery compartment for any debris and try a different set of batteries if possible.
No signals detected.
Verify the correct search mode is selected. Ensure the search coil is functioning and not damaged. Increase sensitivity settings if available or move to an area with known metallic objects to test.
False signals or erratic beeping.
Move away from sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., power lines, mobile phones). Adjust sensitivity settings lower or switch to a more selective search mode like Disc or Jewelry.
Weak or intermittent signals.
Ensure you are moving the coil at a consistent, slow speed (approx. 1-2 inches per second) over the target. Check headphone connections. Low battery can also cause weak signals.
Difficulty identifying targets on the LCD.
Ensure the detector is held parallel to the ground and moved slowly. Practice with known metal objects to learn the display's indications for different metal types and distances.
