      If you cannot hear any sound from the earset of your Minelab Metal Detector, disconnect and then reconnect the earset. If the problem persists, try using a known serviceable earset. If this solves the problem, the original earset may be faulty; if it doesn't, the earset socket may be faulty.

      If your Minelab Metal Detector emits a “Coil Fault” tone (a low-pitched double tone every five seconds) upon switching on, first ensure the coil plug is firmly secured to the electronics pack. If the tone persists and there's no visible damage to the coil cable, consider replacing the electronics pack. However, if you notice any damage to the coil cable, replace it with a new coil.
