To assemble the Pyle PHMD55, start by attaching the search coil to the lower stem, then connect the control box to the upper stem. Adjust the stem length to your height and secure the connections by tightening the knobs.
First, check that the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Ensure the battery compartment is clean and free of corrosion. If the problem persists, try replacing the batteries with new ones.
To adjust the sensitivity, use the sensitivity control knob on the control panel. Turn it clockwise to increase sensitivity for detecting smaller objects and counterclockwise to decrease it, which can help reduce false signals in highly mineralized soils.
After each use, clean the search coil with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the coil. Store the detector in a dry place to prevent moisture damage.
The Pyle PHMD55 metal detector can differentiate between types of metals through its discrimination mode. By adjusting the discrimination settings, you can filter out unwanted metal types and identify specific ones based on the audio tone variations.
Ensure the sensitivity is set appropriately for the area you are scanning. Check for loose connections and ensure the coil is not damaged. Also, avoid areas with high electrical interference or mineralized ground.
The search coil of the Pyle PHMD55 is water-resistant and can be used in shallow water. However, the control box is not waterproof, so it should be kept dry to avoid damage.
Disassemble the detector by detaching the search coil and control box. Remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the components in a cool, dry place, ideally in a padded bag to protect against physical damage.
Ensure the discrimination mode is correctly set to allow the detection of certain metals. Adjust the sensitivity settings and check the ground conditions, as high mineral content can affect detection capability.
Regularly check and clean the search coil, ensure batteries are fully charged, and calibrate the detector according to the ground conditions. Familiarize yourself with the settings and practice in different environments to maximize your detector's efficiency.
