THERE IS MORE THAN ONE TONE BEING EMITTED BY THE DETECTOR OVER THE SAME
TARGET.
This will usually occur when there is more than one object over the area you're sweeping. If it is an odd piece
of metal that the detector cannot recognize, the LCD Display will also not lock in. Sometimes, oxidation can
also make the LCD Display ID arrows and tones jump around. This may also occur if the SENSITIVITY is
set too high.
YOUR DETECTOR IS NOT STABLE AND HAS A PULSING, DISTORTED TONE INSTEAD OF A
CLEAR TONE.
This can occur if you're operating very near another detector or near power lines that can interfere with the
frequency that the detector operates on.
YOUR DETECTOR IS EMITTING A CONSTANT LOUD TONE OR CONSTANT REPEATING TONES
This usually occurs when the batteries are low. Try replacing your batteries with two new alkalines to
determine if this is the cause. There are instances that can cause lock-up or malfunctions of the detector
system. This can occur at any time during operation. The detector can be "cleared" by simply turning it off
and starting over.
CARE AND FEEDING
Your Time Ranger Metal Detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following
suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so you can enjoy it for years.
Handle the metal detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can
cause the metal detector to work improperly.
Use and store the metal detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten
the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Wipe the metal detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the metal detector.
The coil is waterproof and may be submerged in either fresh or saltwater. Be careful to prevent water from
entering the chassis. After using the coil in saltwater, rinse it with fresh water to prevent corrosion of the
metal parts.
Modifying or tampering with the detector's internal components can cause a malfunction and will invalidate
your detector's warranty.
