To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if my Bounty Hunter Time Ranger Metal Detector is repeating a loud tone?
If your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector is repeating a loud tone, the batteries may be low, so replace them as described in the manual. The coil or coil connection could also be damaged, in which case you should replace the coil. You may also try to reset the detector and check the coil plug connection.
Why is my Bounty Hunter Metal Detector not stable?
If your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector is not stable and has a pulsing, distorted tone, you might be operating too close to another detector. Move at least 20 feet away from any other detectors. Alternatively, you might be operating near power lines that are interfering with the detector’s frequency, so try moving away from power lines.
Why is my Bounty Hunter Metal Detector emitting false signals?
Your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector might be emitting false signals because the SENSITIVITY is set too high. Try reducing the SENSITIVITY as described in the manual for your mode of operation. Also, make sure you swing the coil slowly. The issue may also be caused by highly oxidized metal. If the signal doesn't repeat when sweeping the same area, the target is likely highly oxidized (rusted) metal and not worthwhile.
What to do if my Bounty Hunter Metal Detector LCD readout is not locking in?
If the LCD readout on your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector isn't locking in, it could be due to several reasons. There might be more than one object in the area you're sweeping; try using a 4” coil accessory to narrow the detection field. It could also be caused by odd, unrecognizable metal, so try sweeping over the target at different angles. Highly oxidized metal can also cause this issue; if the signal doesn't repeat as you sweep, the target is likely rusted and not worthwhile. Finally, the SENSITIVITY might be set too high; reduce it as described in the manual.
