Troubleshooting
Pinpointer not turning on
Check that the battery is inserted correctly and has sufficient charge. Ensure the battery compartment is properly sealed.
False signals or erratic behavior
Try adjusting the sensitivity level. Use the Rapid Re-Tune function to re-calibrate to the current environment. Ensure DIF technology is active if using with another detector.
