OWNER’S MANUAL
Your Tracker II is an advanced technology Metal Detector. If you
are new to the hobby or have never used a metal detector before,
we recommend that you:
1)
Do Not Use Indoors. Household appliances generate
electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with the detector.
If demonstrating indoors, turn the sensitivity down and keep the
search coil away from floors, walls, and metal objects.
2)
Turn SENSITIVITY knob to a low setting in the event of false
signals or chatter.
A little practice is required to understand
when and how to position the sensitivity at or near 100%.
3) Use 9-volt
ALKALINE batteries only.
4)
Please read this manual.

      If your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector has no power, produces no sounds, chatters, or beeps erratically, here's what you can do: * **Check the batteries:** Replace them if they are dead, ensuring they are 9-Volt ALKALINE (avoid heavy-duty batteries). * **Battery Connection:** Ensure the batteries are securely snapped onto the connectors. * **Reduce Interference:** Move away from power lines, operating machinery, or other metal detectors (keep at least 20 feet apart). * **Environment:** Use the detector outdoors only. * **Sensitivity:** Reduce the sensitivity if it's set too high for the environment.

    Why does my Bounty Hunter Tracker II chatter or beep erratically?
    • I
      Isaiah WalshAug 5, 2025
      If your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector chatters or beeps erratically, it could be due to several reasons. It might be electromagnetic interference from power lines or operating machinery, using the detector indoors, being too close to another metal detector (keep at least 20 feet apart), using the wrong type of batteries (use 9-Volt ALKALINE batteries only), or having the sensitivity set too high for the environment. To resolve this, try using the detector outdoors, reducing the sensitivity, and ensuring you are using the correct type of batteries.

    What to do if my Bounty Hunter Metal Detector beeps at the end of sweeps?
    • J
      Jack BrooksAug 10, 2025
      If your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector beeps at the end of sweeps, giving false signals, it's likely due to improper sweep technique. Avoid swinging the coil like a pendulum. Instead, sweep the coil parallel to the ground to ensure accurate readings.

    What to do if my Bounty Hunter Metal Detector has many false signals?
    • T
      Timothy PorterAug 15, 2025
      If your Bounty Hunter Metal Detector is giving many false signals, consider the following: * **Ground Balance:** Ground balance the field according to the instructions. * **Sensitivity:** Reduce the sensitivity setting. * **Targets:** Only dig up repeatable signals to avoid oxidized targets. * **Discrimination:** Increase the discrimination level by turning the control clockwise.
