Factors That Affect The Detecting
It’s difficult to have an accurate detecting result. It takes practice to get better
detection results. Sometimes the detecting may be restricted by some factors.
• If there are interference from other instruments or electrical cable, TV or radio in
your searching area, lower the sensitivity, or to change the current searching area.
• When searching in highly mineralized area, the unit will sound even if there’s no
metal. In this case, you can lower the sensitivity and increase the height between
the search coil and the ground until the false signal disappears. If necessary, reset
the DISC.
• When searching in trash area, it’s better to set the DISC to 11:00 position, so that
the unit can notch most of invaluable metals such as nails and small trashy iron.
• Move away any metal digging tool when searching.
• Sensitivity level is generally in contradiction with that of the discrimination. The
higher the sensitivity level is, the worse discrimination will be. But you can lower the
sensitivity to have better discrimination.
Care and Maintenance
Your metal detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The
following suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so you can enjoy it
for years.
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.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Reason
Suggestion
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. For more details,
