TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem
Suggestions
The
detector
displays
false
signals.
You might be sweeping the
detector’s search coil too fast or
at the wrong angle. Sweep the
search coil more slowly and hold
the detector correctly. See
“Testing and Using the Detector”
and “Pinpointing a Target”.
The detector might show a false
signal if it detects heavily
oxidized metals. Try pinpointing
the target from several different
angles (See “pinpointing a
Target”). If the detector does not
display the same signal each
time, the target is probably
heavily oxidized metal.
The display does
not show the
correct
metal
type when the
detector finds a
target.
There might be more than one
target in the area you are
searching.
The target might be a type of
metal that the detector does not
recognize.
If the target is heavily oxidized,
the detector might not display
the correct metal type. This is not
a malfunction.
The
detector
makes
a
constant tone,
then goes silent
when it finds
metal
This is a normal function of the
detector.
