right polarity and correct if necessary.
•Check the state of the batteries. If necessary, try starting with batteries
known to be in good condition.
•Detector may be too hot. Allow detector to cool down in a shaded area.
•Try starting the detector with search coil disconnected. If the detector
starts normally, check the state of the coil cable. If it is damaged, replace
the coil. Otherwise return detector for repairs.
•Unplug the headphones. If there is sound in the speaker but not in the
headphones, check the headphones and their connection.

appears to work normally otherwise, return the detector for repairs.

channel in the Advanced Main Menu > Options > NOISE.

that there is a source of interference nearby which must be avoided.
