Avoid turning the detector on and off repeatedly.
If this happens the Coil Overcurrent screen will
appear. Turn the detector off and wait for a short
time before turning the detector on again.
It is best to only turn the detector on
when outdoors and away from sources
of electromagnetic disturbance such
as power lines, transmitters, electric
fences and phone towers. These
sources may cause the detector to
perform erratically, giving numerous
false signals.
Note: If the detector emits an overload
sound move the coil away from any
large metal objects. Overloading is
not harmful to the electronics of
the detector.
