Notes:
- If trash in an area is so heavy that you get false signals, slow your sweep speed
and use shorter sweeps.
- Recently buried coins might not respond the same as coins buried for a long period
of time because of oxidation.
- Some nails, nuts, bolts, and other iron objects (such as old bottle caps) oxidize and
create a “halo” effect. A halo effect is caused by a mixture of natural elements in the
ground and the oxidation created by different metals. Because of the metal
mixtures, target signals might not be in a “fixed” position. This effect makes these
∂objects very hard to detect accurately.
Trouble Shooting
If your detector is not working as it should, follow the suggestions below to see if you
can eliminate the problem.
Problem
Suggestions
The detector displays or
sounds false signals.
You might be sweeping the detector’s search
coil too fast or at the wrong angle. Sweep the
search coil more slowly and hold the detector
correctly. See “Testing and Using the Detector” and
“Pinpointing a Target”.
The detector might sound a false signal if it detects
heavily oxidized metals. Try pinpointing the target
from several different angles (see “Pinpointing a
Target”). If the detector does not display and sound
the same signal each time, the target is probably
heavily oxidized metal.
The display does not show
the correct metal type when
the detector finds a target.
There might be more than one target in the area
you are searching.
The target might be a type of metal that the detector
does not recognize.
If the target is heavily oxidized, the detector might
not display the correct metal type. This is not a
malfunction.
Care and Maintenance
Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and
cases 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, damage the cases of the detector.
Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear 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.
