Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM SOLUTION
No power
1. Connect to charger and verify the battery icon is blinking (indicating charge is in progress).
2. Check charging cable and charger.
Erratic sounds or target ID
cursor movement
1. Ensure your searchcoil is securely connected and the coil cable is snugly wound around the stem.
2. If using the detector indoors, be aware that excessive amounts of electrical interference exists,
plus excessive amounts of metal can be found in oors and walls.
3. Determine if you are close to other metal detectors or other metal structures such as electrical
power lines, wire fences, benches, etc.
4. Adjust channel.
5. Reduce your sensitivity setting.
Intermittent Signals
Intermittent signals typically mean you have found a deeply buried target or one that is positioned
at a dicult angle for your detector to read. Scan from dierent directions to help dene the signal
or try selecting a dierent frequency to possibly enhance the target’s response and scan again.
In the case of multiple targets, switch to the ZERO Mode or press the pinpoint button to precisely
locate all targets.
NOTE: (Iron targets may cause Intermittent Signals. You can identify iron targets in ZERO Mode) or
with the Iron Audio feature.
I’m not nding specic targets
Ensure you are using the correct mode for the type of hunting you are doing. If specically hunting
for coins, COINS mode should be your best choice to eliminate other undesirable targets. You may
also use the ZERO mode, which detects all metal targets to ensure desired targets are present.
Target ID Cursor bounces
If your Target ID Cursor bounces erratically, chances are you’ve found a trash target. However, a
Target ID Cursor may bounce if a good target (such as a coin) is not parallel to the searchcoil (e.g.
on edge). It may also bounce if there is one or multiple “junk” targets laying next to the good
target. Scan from dierent directions until your Target ID Cursor becomes more stable.
NOTE: Large, at pieces of iron—depending on their orientation in the ground—can read as a good
target or can cause erratic Target ID Cursor movement. Use Iron Audio to help identify iron targets.
