HOW DOES THE AUTO POWER OFF SYSTEM WORK?

If no targets are detected or buttons pressed for a few minutes, then the unit will start a lost alarm, this will sound long beeping so you can find your pin pointer. After a few minutes the pin pointer will switch itself off to preserve battery life.

This allows you to find the unit if it’s left behind on the ground after digging a hole. The beeping does not occur if it is in vibrate only mode. After 5 minutes of slow beeping the unit will turn itself off

PRO-FIND 15&35: WHY IS MY UNIT NOT POWERING UP?

The battery may be inserted the wrong way if the lid goes on, but it is difficult to tighten. The keyed plastic prevents the battery tabs from touching the contacts - turn the batteries around to fix this.

PRO-FIND 15&35: THERE ARE A COUPLE OF BEEPS, BUT NO DETECTION OCCURS, WHY?

After turning the Pro-Find on you will hear 2 beeps followed by a shorter third calibration beep. This calibration can sometimes take 15-20 seconds, please wait for this calibration beep to occur before placing the Pro-Find near any metallic objects. If you have the Pro-Find near metal when you switch it will not calibrate and you will need to restart the Pro-Find. 

PRO-FIND 15&35: AFTER CONTINUED DIGGING, AND DETECTING A TARGET, I DON’T FIND ANYTHING

Side detection occurring with the target (or multiple) in the side of the hole. Use the tip of the probe to check around the sides of the hole. Reducing the Sensitivity can also help..

PRO-FIND 15&35: CAN IT BE USED FOR PROSPECTING?

Yes, but be aware that it won’t have the same sensitivity to very small nuggets as a quality Minelab Gold Detector. It will be a good aid in target recovery for larger nuggets

PRO-FIND 35: WHAT ADVANTAGE DOES THE ADJUSTABLE SENSITIVITY HAVE?

At maximum Sensitivity the PRO-FIND 35 can detect targets at greater distances which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. To pinpoint a target sometimes it’s better to have a less sensitive probe to reduce the search area, so we have given you the ability to adjust it how you see fit. The Sensitivity may also need to be reduced in mineralized or salty soils, so that you are only detecting metal and not the ground.

PRO-FIND 35: CAN I WASH IT?  

The PRO-FIND 35 is completely waterproof to 3 meters so you can submerge the pin pointer to clean it. Make sure the battery cap has been fully tightened before submerging the pin pointer.

PRO-FIND 15: CAN I WASH IT?  

The PRO-FIND 15 is water resistant only. If you cover the speaker vent with your thumb, you can wash it under running water.

PRO-FIND 15&35: GENERAL TIPS?  

Tips for switching on:

Make sure there is no metal close to the probe

Listen for the third beep (short) before trying to detect with it

If it has been a long time since the unit was last used(several days) or there has been significant temperature change since it’s last use, then it may take up to 15-20 seconds to calibrate

Calibration usually takes less than a second when the unit has been used recently

In highly mineralised soils:

Use the buttons to reduce the sensitivity to stop false triggering

Audio on and off (Pro-Find 35 only):

Hold down the plus button while turning the unit on to enable audio tones

Hold down the minus button while turning the unit on to turn off audio tones

Ferrous tone on and off (Pro-Find 35 only):

Hold down the plus button for 5 seconds when the unit is on to enable ferrous tones

Hold down the minus button for 5 seconds when the unit is on to turn off ferrous tones.
