When searching for treasure with your Garrett detector, observe 

these precautions:
• 

Never

 trespass or hunt on private property without permission�

•  National and state parks / monuments and military zones, etc�  

  are absolutely off-limits�

•  Avoid areas where pipelines or electric lines may be buried� If  

  found, do not disturb and notify proper authorities�

•  Use reasonable caution in digging any target, particularly if you  

  are uncertain of the conditions�

•  If you are unsure about using your metal detector in any area,  

  always seek permission from the proper authorities�

CAUTIONS

Your Garrett detector is rugged, designed for outdoor use� However, 

as with all electronic equipment, there are some simple ways you 

can care for your detector to maintain its high performance�

•  Avoid extreme temperatures as much as possible, such as storing  

  the detector in an automobile trunk during the summer or  

  outdoors in sub-freezing weather�

• Keep your detector clean� Disassemble the stem and wipe it,  

  the control housing, and the searchcoil with a damp cloth when  

 necessary�

• Remember that your searchcoil is submersible, but your 

 

  control housing and connectors are not�

•  Protect your control housing from heavy mist, rain and blowing  

 surf�

• When storing for longer than one month, remove the batteries  

  from the detector�

•  When changing batteries, use quality alkaline or rechargeable  

  batteries, and replace with all new batteries for optimum  

 performance�
