Hi everybody.
Just got exited about prospecting and finding lost stuff, so bought for our diving center detector. I'm total newbie in this field, but good at assembling things and repairing them.
Got home with detector, happy as child in Christmas eve. Assembled it, it was not difficult at all. Everything good, and first try in house, just to see, if it starts up. I know there a lot's of metal around and under floor.
It started up, and went quite crazy with peeping hi-lo, as I was expecting. Then after 10 sec or so, it silenced up and only humming (buzzing) sound remained. Ok, I thought it must been GB with floor and steel whats lays beneath. So I went out, little bit away from house and switched it on again. Nothing! Only this humming sound. Try'd to GB it again with slow and fast position with no difference. Try'd to change frequency but nothing happened, just this humming. Yes all cabel connections checked and rechecked, no bent pins.
Shortly: When I switch on the unit, I hear one battery beep, then humming follows and nothing seems to change that. Doesn't matter witch button i turn on witch position, same constant humming remains. Only button that changes anything are sound buttons on earphones. I can make it louder or quaieter, can direct the sound to one or other ear, that's it.
I try'd 3 different sets of battery, Same story. I got one time to hear 4 battery beeps, but then again hummmmm.
I really don't know what to do.
Please Help!
