If your Radio Shack Metal Detector emits a constant loud tone or repeating tones, the batteries may be weak. Replace them with new ones to resolve the issue.
How to stop false signals on Radio Shack with Depth Read-Out Metal Detector?
Your Radio Shack Metal Detector might be emitting false signals due to several reasons. The SENSITIVITY may be set too high, so adjust it back slightly until the false signaling disappears. Also, you might be moving the search coil too quickly; try swinging it more slowly. Some false signals occur on highly rusted metals; if the signal doesn't repeat over the same area when passing the search coil over it, the target usually isn't worthwhile.
What to do if Radio Shack with Depth Read-Out display is not locking?
If the display on your Radio Shack Metal Detector isn't locking in or identifying targets and it emits multiple tones, it usually means there's more than one object in the area you're sweeping, or the detector can't recognize the metal. In this case, search another location. Also, the SENSITIVITY may be set too high, so adjust it back slightly until the false signaling disappears. Sometimes, oxidation can cause the display ID arrows and tones to jump around.
Why is my Radio Shack Metal Detector tone distorted?
If your Radio Shack Metal Detector is unstable and has a pulsing, distorted tone, the area you're searching might be trashy, so search another location. Also, adjust the GROUND BALANCE.
Why Radio Shack with Depth Read-Out does not function?
If your Radio Shack Metal Detector isn't functioning or is operating erratically, another metal detector may be too close. Move to another area, and do not operate two or more metal detectors within 15 feet of each other.
