Sure sounds like a battery problem, a weak battery, bad cell in the battery or not fully charged as using the wrong charger. If he has a alkaline pack that holds 8- 1.5 volt alkaline have him use 8 new alkaline batteries in it, but do not use rechargeable in this pack and have him give it a try. It should work like it should then if the rechargeable battery is bad.

In disc its a sure thing you have battery problems when the threshold starts acting wierd and gettting louder. In PP....... you will hear the speakers crackle a bit..... then it just goes D E A D. If its a blue ...... throw it away they are only 700 anyway and get a 1600 maxxpack with charger as an upgrade he will have about $50 in it..... but double the capacity and the charger has a light and charges in about an hour.

Could be the battery,hopefully,because this could be a quick fix.I've sold detectors that worked fine when shipped and the buyer had problems as soon as they assembled for use.Most of the time it was a easy fix,but some buyers still wanted a refund.Good luck hope your sale turns out well.
