| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | |---------|--------------|----------| | No power | Dead battery / reversed polarity | Replace battery; check +/- terminals | | Constant beeping/chatter | Sensitivity too high / EMI | Reduce SENS; frequency shift; move away from power lines | | No signal on known metal | Discrimination set too high | Set MODE to ALL METAL | | Erratic depth reading | Highly mineralized ground | Perform ground grab again | | Target ID jumps widely | Multiple targets / rust halo | Sweep from 90° different angle; dig anyway | | Headphones no sound | Volume low / wrong jack | Turn VOL up; ensure 3.5 mm plug fully inserted |
