STOP! Read the manual AGAIN. Now go OUTSIDE. Turn on your machine and do the air tests again. Not Working? Call Kellyco, or Rusty at Tesoro!

Well, the Compadre has only one knob and that controls discrimination, not sensitivity. When you turn it on, set it to All Metal mode (first option) and leave it there for your air tests. If you turn the knob up any more then the detector will start discriminating out some objects (which is actually useful when you haven't seen the target yet). Air tests should be conducted away from any interference (which means the detector should be silent until you wave some metal at it). If your detector won't respond to a nail within 6 inches in All Metal mode, then there is something wrong and Tesoro will fix it for free.
