Operating Modes

The OMMO Metal Detector features three distinct operating modes to optimize your metal detection experience:

  • ALL METAL MODE: This mode is designed to search for all types of metal objects, including steel, zinc, aluminum, gold, copper, and silver. It provides comprehensive detection without discrimination.
  • DISCRIMINATION MODE: In this mode, you can deselect specific metal types that you do not wish to detect, allowing the device to ignore unwanted trash items. Press the "Mode" button to switch between "ALL" and "DISC" modes.
  • PINPOINT MODE: Use this mode to precisely locate the target once a signal is detected. Press and hold the "PP" button to activate pinpointing.

Maintenance

  • After each use, especially in wet or sandy conditions, wipe down the search coil and lower stem with a damp cloth.
  • Ensure the control box remains dry at all times. If it gets wet, immediately power off the device and allow it to dry completely before next use.
  • Store the metal detector in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

  • No Power: Check if the 9V batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
  • No Signal/Weak Signal: Ensure the search coil cable is securely plugged into the control box. Adjust the sensitivity setting to a higher level. Test the device with a known metal object.
  • False Signals/Chattering: Lower the sensitivity setting. Move away from sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., power lines, other electronic devices). Ensure the search coil cable is tightly wound around the stem.
  • Inaccurate Pinpointing: Practice with known targets to understand the pinpointing function. Ensure the search coil is moved slowly and steadily over the target area.
