What to do if my Minelab GPX 5000 battery will not charge?
If the battery of your Minelab Metal Detector isn't charging, ensure the accessories socket is receiving power using a vehicle charger. Check the fuse in the 12V charger plug (M205–5A). Also, examine the battery LED patterns.
What to do if my Minelab Metal Detector battery is not holding charge?
If your Minelab Metal Detector battery isn't holding a charge, try using an alternative charger adapter and check the power cable. If problems persist, consider changing the battery.
Why is there no sound coming from my Minelab Metal Detector?
If your Minelab Metal Detector is producing no sound, verify that the detector is switched on by checking the battery, power cable, connections, and LCD. Ensure the Threshold control is fully clockwise and the Volume Limit is set to maximum (20). Confirm that headphones are correctly plugged in and the headphone volume is appropriately adjusted. If the issue persists, try a different set of headphones or battery.
What to do if my Minelab GPX 5000 has random noise?
If your Minelab Metal Detector is experiencing random noise, try Ground Balancing again or retune using the Auto Tune button. You can also set the Coil/Rx switch to Cancel, reduce the Gain, and move away from other detectors or thunderstorm build-up.
