Problem Suggestions
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” on
Page 8 and “Pinpointing a Target” on Page 11.
The detector displays or sounds
false signals.
The detector might sound a false signal if it detects heavily
oxidized metals. Try pinpointing the target from several
different angles (See “pinpointing a Target” on Page 11). If the
detector does not display and sound the same signal each time,
the target is probably heavily oxidized metal.
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.
The display does not show the
correct metal type when the
detector finds a target.
If the target is heavily oxidized, the detector might not display
the correct metal type. This is not a malfunction.
