Troubleshooting
Common Problems
The following table lists common problems that you may encounter
when using your metal detector.
Problem
Probable Cause(s)
Solution(s)
Detector is emitting
false signals in the
field.
• SENSITIVITY may be set
too high.
• Improper coil
movement.
• Highly oxidized metal.
• Reduce SENSITIVITY per
instructions in this manual
for your mode of operation.
• Swing the coil slowly.
• Abandon the target—if the
signal does not repeat as
you sweep the same area,
the target is usually highly
oxidized (rusted) metal and
not worthwhile.
• LCD readout is not
“locking in” or
identifying while
passing over a
target.
• Detector emits more
than one tone over
the same target.
• More than one object
over the area you are
sweeping.
• Odd, unrecognizable
metal.
• Highly oxidized metal.
• SENSITIVITY may be set
too high.
• Use 4” coil accessory to
narrow detection field.
• Sweep over target at
different angles.
• Abandon the target—if the
signal does not repeat as
you sweep the same area,
the target is usually highly
oxidized (rusted) metal and
not worthwhile.
• Reduce SENSITIVITY per
instructions in this manual
for your mode of operation.
Detector not stable
and has a pulsing,
distorted tone instead
of a clear one.
• Operating very near
another detector.
• Operating near power
lines that can interfere
with detector’s
frequency.
• Move at least 20 feet from
the second detector.
• Move away from power
lines.
