TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not anticipate that you will have any problems with your metal detector. However, if your metal detector is not operating properly, follow
these suggestions to eliminate the problem. If the metal detector still does not operate properly, take it to your local RadioShack store for assis-
tance.
CARE
Keep the metal detector dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. The search coil is waterproof and may be submerged in either fresh or saltwa-
ter. Be careful to prevent water from entering the chassis. After using the search coil in saltwater, rinse it with fresh water to prevent corrosion of
the metal parts. Use and store the metal detector only in normal temperature environments. Handle the metal detector carefully; do not drop it.
Keep the metal detector away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the metal detector’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your metal de-
tector is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
Problem Possible Cause Suggestion
The metal detector is emitting false signals
in the field.
SENSITIVITY may be set too high.
Adjust SENSITIVITY back slightly until the false signaling dis-
appears. See “Adjusting SENSITIVITY” on Page 5.
You are moving the search coil to quickly. Swing your search coil slowly.
Some false signals occur on highly rusted metals.
If the signal does not repeat over the same area while passing
the search coil over it, then the target is usually not worth-
while.
The display is not locking in or identifying
while passing over a target, and the metal
detector emits more than one tone over the
same target.
This usually happens when there is more than one
object in the area you are sweeping. If it is an odd
piece of metal that the detector cannot recognize,
the metal detector does not lock in.
Search another location.
Sometimes, oxidation can make the display ID
arrows and tones jump around.
SENSITIVITY may be set too high.
Adjust SENSITIVITY back slightly until the false signaling dis-
appears. See “Adjusting SENSITIVITY” on Page 5.
The metal detector is not stable and has a
pulsing, distorted tone (rather than a clear
one).
The area you are searching may be trashy.
Search another location.
Adjust GROUND BALANCE. See “Adjusting GROUND BAL-
ANCE” on Page 5.
The metal detector does not function or
operates erratically.
Another metal detector may be within 15 feet of
your metal detector.
Move to another area. Do not operate two or more metal
detectors within 15 feet of each other.
The detector emits a constant loud tone or
repeating tones.
The batteries may be weak. Replace the batteries with new ones.
