Issue

Solution

The detector doesn‘t start

Recharge the detector. If it still doesn‘t 

start, contact your dealer.

The detector doesn‘t make a sound If the detector shows no conductance 

number in the middle, the coil might not 

be connected to the control unit. Check 

the cable between coil and control unit.

 

If it just doesn‘t make a sound, check if 

the volume is set to zero or the wireless 

headphones-mode is activated.

The detector is very noisy

Perform a automatic or manual Ground 

Balancing, set the sensitivity lower or try it 

at another place with less interference.

False signals while detecting

Check if the coil cable is broken. If so, 

contact your dealer.

Overload alarm

Please turn to WET BEACH or SALT 

WATER MODE if you are detecting on the 

beach or high mineralized ground.

Contact your dealer if any other problems occur or the suggested 

solution doesn‘t work.
