      If there is no sound from the Earset of your Minelab Metal Detector, try disconnecting and reconnecting the Earset. If that doesn't work, try a known serviceable Earset; if this solves the problem, the original Earset may be faulty. If it does not, the Earset socket may be faulty.

      If your Minelab Metal Detector F3 won't switch on, first, ensure the batteries are correctly inserted into the Battery Pack. If that doesn't work, try replacing the batteries. Another solution is to remove the Battery Pack and reconnect it, making sure the battery Lock Lever is locked. Finally, try exchanging Battery Packs; if this solves the problem, the original Battery Pack may be faulty.
