THE PIONEER 202 IS EMITTING “GHOST” SIGNALS WHEN OPERATING IN THE FIELD. The SENSITIVITY may be set too high. Try cutting back the SENSITIVITY slightly until the false signaling disappears. Remember to swing your coil slowly. Some ghost signals will occur on highly rusted metals. But if the signal does not repeat after successive passes of the coil over the same area, then the target is usually not worthwhile.

THE PIONEER 202 LCD READOUT IS NOT LOCKING IN OR ID’ING WHILE PASSING OVER A TARGET & 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 in the area you’re sweeping. If it is an odd piece of metal that the detector cannot recognize, the meter will also not lock in. Sometimes, oxidation can cause erratic tones or inconsistent target identification. This may also occur if the SENSITIVITY is set too high.

THE PIONEER 202 IS NOT STABLE AND HAS A PULSING, DISTORTED TONE INSTEAD OF A CLEAR TONE. This can occur if operating near another detector or near power lines that can interfere with the frequency that the detector operates on.

THE PIONEER 202 IS EMITTING A CONSTANT LOUD TONE OR CONSTANT REPEATING TONES. This usually occurs when the batteries are low. Try replacing the batteries with two new alkaline batteries to determine if this is the cause.

KEEP 2 DETECTORS AT LEAST 20FT APART. If 2 detectors are in close proximity, interference from one to the other may cause the detector to emit erratic signals. By keeping the detector at a distance from other operating detectors, it will ensure no loss of performance or erratic “ghost” signals.

NOTE: Always use Alkaline Batteries for proper performance.
