OK, I was doing some air test last night on my new F5. It did fine with everything, except when I scanned a padlock, the screen flashed, and just showed lines, instead of a reading?? Is this normal, or is this unit defective?:?:

Also, can someone point me to the idiot's guide to understanding your detector book? The F5 manual is brief to say he least. I am thinking I will be pracicing a lot this weekend, just to figure it out. I may have gotten too advanced for my first machine?? I don't understand threshold and gain??
 
My DFX will do that when it can't ID the target. Odd targets will sometimes give no reading on the display. Could be the same with the F5
