Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM

SOLUTION

No power

1. Ensure battery is charged.
2. Connect to charger and verify the battery icon is blinking (indicating charge is in progress).

Erratic sounds

1. Ensure the coil connector is secure and the coil cable is snugly wound around the stem.
2. Perform a factory reset to clear all settings by holding down the Power button for 5 seconds.
3. If using the detector indoors, be aware that excessive amounts of electrical interference exists,  
     plus excessive amounts of metal can be found in floors and walls. Move outdoors to test the unit   
     in an area of ground clear of excessive metal, buried or overhead powerlines, etc.
4. Determine if erratic noise is caused by electrical interference (EMI) or something else. Hold the    
     coil perfectly stationary on the ground away from any target.
          a.  If noise continues, then it is likely caused by electrical interference (EMI):
                i.   Perform Frequency Scan.
               ii.  Reduce sensitivity, if needed.
          b.  If noise stops when coil is stationary, then it is likely due to ground or metal detection:
               i.   Ensure 

Axiom

 is properly ground balanced.

               ii.  Ensure no nearby or buried metal.
               iii.  Investigate remaining responses; could be deep/faint signals that are marginally  
                     detectable.
               iv.   Reduce sensitivity, if needed.

Intermittent Target Signals

Intermittent signals typically mean you have found a deeply buried target or one that is positioned 
at a difficult angle for your detector to read. Scan from different directions to help define the 
signal, and/or scrape away some soil to get the coil closer to the target.

Responds when bumping coil 

against rocks, etc.

Use a coil cover to cushion the coil’s impact with items such as rocks, trees, etc.
