Setup
Charging the Device
The NXGD02 is equipped with an 800mAh rechargeable lithium battery. To charge the device, unscrew the cap at the end of the pinpointer to reveal the USB-C charging port.

A full charge takes approximately 4 hours and provides up to 15 hours of continuous operation. The device can be used while charging.
Attaching the Lanyard and Holster
For secure and convenient carrying, attach the flexible spring clip lanyard to the small loop on the cap of the pinpointer. The other end of the lanyard can be clipped to your belt loop or clothing. The included belt holster allows you to securely carry the pinpointer on your belt, providing easy access during use. Simply slide the pinpointer into the holster and secure the holster to your belt using the Velcro and snap closure.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off and Basic Detection
To power on the device, press the power button located on the side of the pinpointer. The built-in LED light will illuminate, indicating the device is active. The pinpointer uses a simple one-button operation with automatic sensitivity adjustment, making it user-friendly for all ages. It detects all metal types and accurately pinpoints targets up to 6 inches deep using 360° side-scan technology.
Alert Modes
The NXGD02 offers three distinct alert modes to provide versatile feedback based on your environment:
- Sound Mode: Ideal for quiet environments like parks and lawns, providing precise and easy-to-hear audio feedback.
- Vibration Mode: Suitable for night use or underground detection, offering low noise and vibration feedback to avoid disturbing others.
- Audio + Vibration Mode: Recommended for noisy environments such as beaches or city detecting, where combined feedback is more reliable.
Practical Applications
The pinpointer is ideal for efficiently finding coins, jewelry, and gold in both confined and open search areas. Its precision allows for various uses:
- Searching for lost precious metals.
- Locating nails or screws in wood or other materials.
- Finding small metallic objects in grass or soil.
Maintenance
Waterproof and Durability
The SUNPOW NXGD02 is built to IP68 standards, allowing it to function underwater up to 10 feet. This makes it suitable for use in wet conditions, including beaches, rivers, and wetlands. Its robust, shock-resistant construction ensures durability in harsh weather and outdoor environments, operating effectively from -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
Battery Care
To prolong battery life, ensure the device is fully charged before extended periods of non-use. Store the pinpointer in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
Troubleshooting
Unexpected Alerts or Malfunctions
If the pinpointer exhibits unexpected beeping, vibration, or inconsistent detection, try the following steps:
- Restart the Device: Power off the pinpointer by pressing and holding the power button, then power it back on.
- Check for Interference: Ensure there are no other metallic objects or strong electromagnetic fields nearby that could interfere with the detector's operation.
- Verify Mode Selection: Confirm you are in the desired alert mode (Sound, Vibration, or combined). While the device has automatic sensitivity, understanding the modes can help diagnose unexpected behavior.
- Recharge Battery: A low battery can sometimes lead to erratic behavior. Ensure the device is fully charged.
