Unit won’t turn on, turns on but
turns off quickly, performs
erratically.
Replace the battery. Check that battery is
inserted correctly, with proper polarity
(positive to positive, negative to
negative).
Unit sounds a false alert as it
approaches the ground.
Place the tip to the ground but away from
metal and quick-press the button to
“grab” the ground reading.
Unit turns on and produces a
three-tone beep before the two-
tone “ready” signal.
Unit is probably overloaded. Make sure it
is held away from ground and metal
during turn-on.
Target appears to be large and
difficult to pinpoint.
Quick-press the button to ratchet down
the sensitivity. This reduces the apparent
size of strong targets.
Target is detected but then
disappears as the probe is moved
deeper into the hole
Target is probably in the sidewall of the
hole.
