TROUBLESHOOTING

(a) Check the condition of batteries under load using the LEDs. (See Battery Check
Procedure).
(b) Check that the search head is properly attached to the control box via the search head
cable connector.
(c) Interchange batteries and ensure connections are correct and secure. Battery life can
vary tremendously between makes, therefore your 'new' batteries may already be
insufficiently powerful to run the detector.
Oscillating Signal Accompanied By LED Fluctuation
(a) This could be due to poor battery connections. Ensure that they are tight and the
batteries are securely clipped into place.
(b) Loose search head cable connection - tighten.
(c) Interference from a vehicle using a radio transmitter or possibly a stationary source of
electromagnetic radiation - if this occurs then reduce the sensitivity. If the problem
persists then the best remedy is to wait until the transmission stops.
Intermittent Sound From Speaker
(a) This could be due to poor battery connections. Ensure that they are tight and the
batteries are securely clipped into place.
(b) Loose search head cable connection - tighten.
(c) Radio interference (see above).
