4. Operating Instructions
To operate your Walfront Professional Metal Detector effectively, follow these guidelines:
- Power On: Press the On/Off button to activate the device.
- Metal Identification: The detector can identify different types of metals. Use the dedicated buttons (Copper, Silver, Gold, Diamond) to select the target metal you wish to search for. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
- Scanning Technique: Hold the instrument and swing it in an arc, slowly rotating your body. Keep your elbows close to your sides. Rotate approximately 40-60 degrees. Maintain a steady body posture during scanning.
- Antenna Alignment: Ensure the receiving antenna is correctly extended before operation. Position the receiving antenna directly in front of you, open at 90 degrees to your body, and avoid tilting left or right.
- Target Confirmation: When the antenna aligns with a target, the instrument will confirm it. Continue to explore the area. If the determination is effective, remember this direction.
- Pinpointing Location: Move the instrument approximately 10 meters to the left or right and repeat the process of determining the policy just mentioned. By observing the determined direction each time, the intersection of the two directions indicates the buried position of the target.
- Frequency Regulation: The device can identify specific types of metal through its frequency regulator.
- Degaussing Function: The product has its own degaussing function. If the receiver probe is too close to ferrous metal, an alarm will sound 3 times, and the device can be degaussed.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your metal detector:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the main unit and search coil with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the detector in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the original carrying case for protection during storage and transport.
- Battery Care: If the detector will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and corrosion. Recharge the battery fully before and after storage.
- Connections: Periodically check all cable connections for wear or damage. Ensure they are securely fastened during operation.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your metal detector, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly installed. Check the power adapter connection if charging.
- No Detection/Inaccurate Detection: Verify that the antennas are properly screwed in and extended. Ensure you are using the correct metal selection mode for your target. Perform the degaussing function if the device has been near ferrous metals.
- Weak Signal: Check the battery level. A low battery can affect detection performance.
- Interference: Operate the detector away from strong electromagnetic fields, power lines, or other electronic devices that might cause interference.
