FAQs

How do I change the sensitivity levels?

With the device on, hold down the power button for approximately two seconds until you hear a series of beeps, then press the button to cycle through the three available sensitivity settings.

Does this pinpointer work in saltwater?

Yes, the Pro-Pointer AT is designed to function in saltwater; however, you may need to use the retune feature more frequently to adjust to the high mineral content.

What kind of battery does it use?

It uses a standard 9V battery.

Can I use it as a standalone detector?

While it can detect metal, it is designed specifically as a pinpointer for use alongside a primary metal detector, not as a replacement for one.

How long will the battery last?

Battery life depends on usage and battery type, but typically lasts around 30 hours of continuous operation.

What is the purpose of the lost alarm?

The lost alarm emits a periodic warning chirp if the unit is turned on but has not been used for several minutes, helping you locate it if dropped.

Troubleshooting

Device is not detecting targets at all

Check the 9V battery and replace it if necessary; ensure the battery terminals are making proper contact.

Device makes continuous erratic beeping

Perform a fast retune by briefly pressing the power button while away from any metal to reset the sensitivity to the current ground conditions.

Water entered the battery compartment

Remove the battery immediately, dry the compartment thoroughly with a soft cloth, and leave the cap off in a dry, ventilated area for 24 hours before reassembling.
