Frequently Asked Questions - PMD38 Pyle
How do I adjust the sensitivity on my Pyle PMD38?
Turn the sensitivity knob clockwise to increase sensitivity or counterclockwise to decrease it. Start at a medium setting and adjust based on ground conditions. Too high sensitivity may cause false signals.
What type of batteries does the PMD38 use?
It uses two 9V alkaline batteries. Insert them into the battery compartment observing polarity. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Can I use the PMD38 in wet grass or rain?
The search coil is water-resistant, but the control box is not. Avoid exposing the control box to moisture. Do not submerge the entire detector.
How do I distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous metals?
Use the discrimination mode. The detector will emit different tones or display different target IDs for ferrous (iron) and non-ferrous (copper, silver, gold) metals. Refer to the user manual for tone chart.
What should I do if my detector is making erratic noises?
Check for electromagnetic interference from power lines or other devices. Reduce sensitivity, ground balance if possible, or move to a different location. Also ensure batteries are fresh.
How do I pinpoint a target?
Switch to pinpoint mode (if available) or move the coil in a cross pattern over the target area. The detector will give a stronger signal directly over the object.
Is the Pyle PMD38 suitable for beginners?
Yes, it has simple controls and preset modes. It's lightweight and easy to assemble. Ideal for hobbyists and beginners.
Can I use headphones with the PMD38?
Yes, it has a 1/4 inch headphone jack. Plug in any standard metal detecting headphones for better sound isolation.
What is the warranty on the PMD38?
Pyle offers a one-year limited warranty from date of purchase. Keep your receipt for warranty claims.
How do I clean the coil?
Rinse the coil with fresh water after use in saltwater or muddy conditions. Wipe the shaft and control box with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
