How to fix a DigiTech QP2308 that does not function?
If your DigiTech Metal Detector does not function, check that the five-pin cable is properly connected; re-plug it properly. Also, the battery may be dead; replace it with a fresh one.
Why does my DigiTech QP2308 Metal Detector make false sounds?
If your DigiTech Metal Detector sounds false signals, it might be due to several reasons. First, the sensitivity could be set too high, or there may be environmental electromagnetic interference; try reducing the sensitivity. Second, you might be sweeping the search coil too fast or at the wrong angle; sweep the search coil more slowly and hold the detector correctly. Finally, if you are using two detectors in close proximity, keep them at least 6 meters (20’) apart.
What to do if my DigiTech QP2308 does not detect anything?
If your DigiTech Metal Detector isn't detecting anything, there are a few potential causes. The sensitivity might be set too low; try increasing it. Alternatively, the target range might be eliminated; recover all target ranges. Also, ensure the search coil is parallel to the ground; adjust the search coil angle accordingly.
Why does my DigiTech QP2308 Metal Detector display or sound without detecting a target?
If your DigiTech Metal Detector displays or sounds without detecting any target, it could be due to interference from broadcast antennas or other electronic lines; try changing your search location. Alternatively, high environmental humidity may be the cause; wait for some time and check again.
What to do if DigiTech QP2308 LCD displays multiple target categories?
If your DigiTech Metal Detector's LCD displays multiple target categories or emits several sounds at once, it could be due to more than one kind of metal target being present; reduce the sensitivity to eliminate the detection of the deeper target. Also, the detector might not be able to identify the target, or oxidized metal might be causing the target arrow and tone excursion; sweep the search coil with different angles.
