      If your Minelab Metal Detector battery won't charge, check that the vehicle charger is providing power to the accessories socket. Also, inspect the fuse in the 12V charger plug (M205–5A). Refer to page 20 for information about the battery LED patterns.

      If your Minelab Metal Detector has no sound, ensure the detector is switched on by checking the battery, power cable, connections, and LCD. Then, turn the Threshold control fully clockwise and set the Volume Limit to the maximum (20). Verify that the headphones are correctly plugged in and that their volume controls are adjusted appropriately. If the problem persists, try a different set of headphones or a different battery.

      If your Minelab Metal Detector is producing random noise, try Ground Balancing again or re-tune using the Auto Tune button. You can also set the Coil/Rx switch to Cancel, reduce the Gain, move away from other detectors working nearby, and move away from thunderstorm build-up.
