Storage
If the detector is to be stored, remove the batteries as they may leak and
corrode the surrounding electronics.
Detector Not Operating :
(a) Check the condition of the batteries.
(b) Interchange batteries and ensure connections are correct and secure.
Battery life can vary tremendously between makes, therefore your ’new’
batteries may already have insufficient power to run your detector.
Oscillating Signal
(a) Caused most often by outside equipment such as fluorescent lights,
taxis, radios, power lines, and other metal detectors working nearby. Try
reducing sensitivity or in severe cases, find a new site.
Intermittent Sound From Speaker
(a) This could be due to poor battery connections. Ensure they are tight and
the batteries are securely clipped in place.
(b) Radio transmission from passing taxi or vehicle using radio transmitter
equipment (see above).
Before returning a detector for repair, ensure you have done the
following :
(a) Read instructions thoroughly.
(b) Tried new batteries and checked procedure outlined above.
(c) Spoken
to the local dealer about performance of the detector,
especially if you are still unfamiliar with metal detectors in general.
