Tesoro Lobo Super Traq question/set-up

[laynecarr]

Got some batteries and fired up my "inherited" Tesoro Lobo Super Traq, but it just squawks at high volume no matter how I adjust the knobs and controls. I'm thinking of sending to Tesoro for set up and repair unless someone here can offer some useful tips. Thanks in advance for your help!

First I'd read the manual..............If you inherited it without one go to the Tesoro Site & download it, or you can call Tesoro & get one sent to you. (they take you through the setup)

Then check out & be sure the coil connector is tight.

Remove the coil cover and clean out any dirt, is causes falseing.

Check the coil wire sheath for any damage, the unit is water proof upto the connector unless damaged.

Check battery connector/battery holder for carrosiun from an old battery that leaked + try another set of AA batteries just to be sure.

Many people try and run the sensativity to high, try it lower. If the area is highly minrelized/trashy area try it in a differant spot.

The metal detector is a very good sensitive one for gold & coins.

Good Hunting.....................HaRM

Thanks for the advice. I got the manual and I'll check out all the connections. Can't wait to get this baby operational. Mike
