Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
The detector
displays or
sounds
without
detecting
any target
The detector
sounds false
signals.
The detector
does not
detect
anything
LCD display
multiple
target
categories or
emits several
sounds at
once
The detector
does not
function.
Reason
1. The detector may
receive interference
and false signal from
broadcast antenna
and other electronic
lines
2. The humidity of
environment may be
extremely high
1. Sensitivity set too
high/ environmental
electromagnetic
interference
2. Sweeping the
detector's search
coil too fast or at
wrong angle
3. Using 2 detectors
in close proximity
1. Sensitivity set too low
2. Target range
is eliminated
3. Search coil is not
parallel with the
ground
1. There may be over
one kind of metal
targets
2. The detector can't
identify the target.
Sometimes, oxidized
metal also causes
the excursion of
target
arrow and tone.
1. Five-pin cable
not connected
well
2. Dead battery

Suggestion
1. Change
searching place
2. Wait for some time
to check again
1. Reduce sensitivity
2. Sweep the search
coil more slowly and
hold
the
detector
correctly
3. Keep two detectors
at least 6 meters(20')
apart
1. Increase sensitivity
2. Recover all
target range
3. Adjust the search coil
angel to be
parallel
with the ground
1. Reduce the
sensitivity to
eliminate the
detection of the
deeper target
2. Sweep the search
coil with different
angles
1. Re-plug it properly
2. Replace batteries
