Trouble shooting Guide
Problem
Reason
Suggestion
The detector
sounds false
signals
1.Sensitivity set too
high/environmental
electromagnectic
interference
2.Sweeping the detector's
search coil too fast or at
wrong angle.
3.Using 2 detectors in
close proximity
1.Reduce sensitivity.
2.Sweep the search
coil more slowly and
hold the detector in
the proper position
3.Keep any two
detectors at least 6
meters(20'') apart.
The detector
does not detect
anything.
1.Sensitivity set too low.
2.Target range is
eliminated.
3.Search coil is not
parallel
with the ground
1.Increase sensitivity.
2.Recover all target
range.
3.Ajust the search coil
angle to be paralle
with the ground
LCD displays
multiple target
categories or
emits several
sounds at.
1.There may be more
than one kind of metal
in the target items.
2.The detector can't
identify the target.
Sometimes,oxidized
metal also causes the
proble.
1.Reduce the
sensitivity to
eliminate
the detection of the
deeper target.
2.Sweep the search
coil with different
angels.
The detector
does not work
1. Five-pin cable not
connected well.
2. Dead battery
