If you’re close to power lines electric fences, a lot of electronic activity you might have to turn the sensitivity down to stabilize the detector.

If it’s beeping and making indications for no apparent reason, when you’re not sweep in the ground, you probably have to turn the sensitivity down a little bit to get it to work well.

So up and down with the sensitivity and that’s indicated on the display.
