TROUBLE SHOOTING
====================================================
If your detector is not working as it should, follow these suggestions to see if
you can eliminate the problem.
PROBLEM
The detector displays or sounds
false signals
The display does not show the
correct metal type when the detector
finds a target. Or the detector sounds
more than one type of tone when it
finds a target.
CS100
SUGGESTION
You might be sweeping the
detector's search coil too fast or at
the wrong angle. Sweep the search
coil more slowly and hold the
detector correctly. See "Testing and
Using the Detector" and "Pinpointing
a Target".
The detector might sound a false
signal if it detects heavily oxidised
metals. Try pinpointing the target
from several different angles (see
"Pinpointing a Target"). If the
detector does not display and sound
the same signal each time, the target
is probably heavily oxidised metal.
There might be more than one target
in the area you are searching.
The target might be a type of metal
that the detector does not recognise.
If the target is heavily oxidised, the
detector might not display the correct
metal type. This is not a malfunction.
