Should be an adjustment screw on side to set sensitivity. Make small adjustments and it should work.

Just reach inside the guard with your finger and push to one side or the other. It will click one notch at a time. Works well, good quality.

I've never been able to make it work. Called the mfr but got no real help. Doesn't seem to have reasonable sensitivity adjustments..........

There's lots of instructions online. Do a search. I could never get it to work and I don't fancy myself to be a moron.

Simple Instructions for El Cheapo Bike Alarm Here is a PDF scan of the instructions that come with the alarm. They are written in very poorly translated English: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10525500/Miscellaneous%20Pictures/BikeAlarmInstructions.pdf In brief: -The default code is ABCA -To change the code, press A for a few seconds until you hear one chirp. Then input the old code (if this is the first time, input the default code). If you entered the right code, you will hear three chirps. Enter your new 4-digit code within 5 seconds; you will hear three chirps if successful and one long chirp if unsuccessful. -To change the sensitivity, hold C until you hear one or more chirps. 1 chirp = High Sensitivity. 2 chirps = Medium Sensitivity. 3 Chirps = Low Sensitivity. -To set the alarm, hold B for a few seconds until you hear one chirp. The alarm activates 5 seconds after the chirp. -To disarm the alarm, enter your 4-digit code. If you get it right, you will hear three chirps. If you get it wrong, you will hear one long chirp. If you get it wrong four times in a row, the keypad will not accept further input for 3 minutes. -When the alarm is triggered it will cycle through its brief alarm sound 5 times (about 5 seconds). If the alarm is triggered again within 5 seconds it will sound for 15 seconds continuously. -Removing the battery for 30 seconds or longer will reset the alarm to its defaults.

Hello. The instruction you can download in the spy tech website. The big button is the turn on or off. :)

Personaly I have not found any gold. But it says that Bounty Hunter LONEGWP Lone Star Metal Detector will detect gold. People have found gold without buying another coil. It's a very good detector for the price. Hope this helps.

I agree with Missy, call the company and have them send them. Mine had instructions included.

I needed a replacement just ordered what was in the detector. I did not need to know what Ah it was rated I guess you could try google or MFG web site.

Hold the finder button down for 10 seconds, the alarm will sound this weird triple chirp.. then hit the car anywhere and at the sensitivity that youwant it at and then it will chirp again.. then just arm it.. your good..

Hey Paul, been a little while since I bought it but I recall getting the following. 1. Treasure guide 2. A shovel(Small Hand Type) 3. Pouch for your finds hip type 4. Another small metal detecting book 5. Not sure . Sorry for not knowing this exactly. I will tell you this is an incredible machine and the price was much less than the MSRP. I added a Garrett pin-pointer, pro bag, and coil cover to my order. I feel safe to say either way you will get a good deal. Happy Hunting!

Did you not receive instructions? It is simple. 1) drive a metal ground rod into the dirt next to where you will mount the unit. 2) then run a single wire on wood stakes around the protected area. 3) tie the single wire to the positive side of the unit. 4) tie the ground rod to the negative side of the unit. 5) Turn it on. Test by standing in bare feet on the ground and grab the hot wire. If you don't holler, it's not working.

Before buying it, or any radar detector on amazon, go to the cobra website, www.cobra.com and make.sure they do actually make that model and make sure it has all the features you want. Make sure it actually has everything advertised. I bought the xrs9880 and it was a fake.

Not sure about the question. My detector was returned as it was defective as it kept saying 'service required'. I do not recommend this device or the company.
