FAQs
Is the Garrett Pro-Pointer II fully waterproof?
No, the Garrett Pro-Pointer II is water-resistant and meets IEC 60529 IP66 standards. This means it can withstand dust and water spray, and the tip can be submerged, but the entire unit should not be fully submerged beyond the power switch.
How do I use the fast retune function?
Quickly turn the Pro-Pointer II off and then back on again. This process allows it to quickly adapt to surrounding mineralization, like in wet sand or mineralized soil.
What type of battery does it use?
The Garrett Pro-Pointer II uses a single 9-volt battery.
How can I find the pinpointer if I lose it?
The Pro-Pointer II has a Lost Pinpointer Alarm. After 5 minutes of inactivity without a button press, it will begin emitting progressively faster warning chirps for 60 minutes. After that hour, it will automatically shut off.
Can I use this pinpointer in salt water or mineralized ground?
Yes, the fast retune function is specifically designed to help you tune out the effects of saltwater and highly mineralized ground for more accurate detection.
How does the 360° detection work?
The Pro-Pointer II allows you to detect metal along the entire 360-degree side of the probe as well as the tip, making it easier and faster to zero in on your target.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Pro-Pointer II is designed with simple, single-button operation and intuitive alerts, making it an excellent tool for both beginner and experienced metal detectorists.
Troubleshooting
Device does not turn on.
Ensure the 9-volt battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Check the battery contacts for corrosion.
No audio or vibration alert.
Verify the battery is installed correctly and charged. Test by pressing the power button. If still unresponsive, try a new battery.
Weak or inconsistent alerts.
Check the battery level. Clean the tip and probe area. Try using the fast retune function to adjust to environmental conditions.
Device powers off unexpectedly.
The auto-off feature may have engaged after an hour of inactivity. If it powers off sooner, check the battery connection and consider replacing the battery.
