to ensure correct operation.

flat bladed screwdriver to rotate the potentiometer located in the hole,
rotate screwdriver:
– Clockwise to increase sensitivity
– Counter-clock to decrease sensitivity
Increase sensitivity until both audio and visual alarms are continuously on,
and then slightly decrease the sensitivity.
Preset sensitivity is at 1.96 inches / 5 cm for a US .25¢ coin.
(Note: Do not adjust the sensitivity higher than necessary as this may
cause false alarms)
Low Battery Warning

detector
– If the metal detector is not detecting metal objects over a know area with
metal objects
– If audio tone alarms continuously

– Alarms when in motion, but is stable in open air, there could be too much
metal in the area.
