2.2 Battery Installation
The detector requires batteries for operation. Install 9-volt batteries by snapping them into the designated compartment. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 LCD Display Overview
The large color LCD provides real-time information to assist in detection. Key indicators include:
- Metal Type: Identifies the probable type of metal detected (e.g., Iron, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, Gold, Silver).
- Depth: Indicates the approximate depth of the detected object.
- Recognition: Visual representation of detected targets.
- Sensitivity Level: Shows the current sensitivity setting.
- Operating Mode: Displays the active detection mode.
- Battery Level: Indicates remaining battery power.

3.2 Detection Modes
The detector offers 5 distinct detection modes:
- All Metal Mode: Detects all types of metal. The detector will alert you to any metal object found.
- DISC (Discrimination) Mode: Allows the user to reject unwanted metal types. This mode helps filter out junk metals, focusing on more desirable targets.
- MEMORY Mode: Designed to detect only memorized metal targets. This mode is useful for repeatedly searching for a specific type of metal.
- JEWELRY Mode: Eliminates iron signals and responds primarily to other metals, making it suitable for finding jewelry.
- PP (Pinpoint) Mode: Enables precise positioning of detected metals, helping to narrow down the exact location of a target before excavation.

3.3 Detection Depth
The 10-inch IP68 waterproof search coil provides improved detection depth. It can locate a quarter coin up to 10 inches underground, with larger objects detectable at even greater depths, potentially up to 4 feet deep.

3.4 Recommended Usage Environments
The novorik Metal Detector is suitable for various environments:
- Beaches: Ideal for searching in sand and shallow water.
- Fields: Effective in open grassy areas.
- Rivers: The waterproof coil allows for underwater detection in rivers and streams.
- Forests: Suitable for wooded areas and varied terrain.

4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your metal detector.
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in sandy or wet conditions, wipe down the search coil and shaft with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Care: Remove batteries if the detector will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage. Store batteries in a cool, dry place.
- Storage: Store the metal detector in a dry, cool environment. Utilize its foldable design for compact storage.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections and cables for wear or damage. Ensure the search coil is securely attached.
5. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power/Detector does not turn on | Dead or incorrectly installed batteries | Replace batteries with fresh ones, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Erratic signals/False readings | High sensitivity setting, electromagnetic interference, mineralized ground | Reduce sensitivity. Move away from power lines or other electronic devices. Switch to a different detection mode (e.g., DISC). |
| Poor detection depth | Low battery, incorrect ground balance, highly mineralized soil | Replace batteries. Adjust ground balance if applicable (refer to specific model features). Try a different search area. |
| No audio response | Volume too low, headphone issue, internal fault | Increase volume. Check headphone connection or try a different pair. If problem persists, contact support. |
