TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Reason
Suggestion
The detector displays or
sounds without detecting
any target
The detector may receive
interference and false
signal from broadcast
antenna and other
electronic lines
Change searching place
The humidity of
environment may be
extremely high
Wait for some time to
check again
The detector sounds false
signals.
Sensitivity set too
high/ environmental
electromagnetic
interference
Reduce SENSITIVITY
Sweeping the detector’s
search coil too fast or at
wrong angle
Sweep the search coil
more slowly and hold the
detector correctly
Using 2 detectors in close
proximity
Keep two detectors at
least 6 meters(20’) apart
LCD display multiple
target categories or emits
several sounds at once
function.
There may be over one
kind of metal targets
Reduce the sensitivity to
eliminate the detection of
the deeper target
The detector can’t identify
the target. Sometimes,
oxidized metal also
causes the excursion of
target arrow and tone.
Sweep the search coil
with different angles
Five-pin cable not
connected well
Re-plug it properly
Dead battery
Replace batteries
Care and Maintenance
Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and
can cause the detector to work improperly.
Use the detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic devices, causing internal damage to the detector.
Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear and
tear of parts.
Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the detector.
CAUTION:
• The search coil is water proof, and it can be completely under the fresh water or
sea water. Please be careful to avoid the water enter into machine body. Sea water
may erode the search coil. Please always use fresh water to clean the search coil
after detection in sea water.
• Change or damage the inner components will cause the detector fault, and such
fault is not within our warranty.
