take care
The ‘GP extreme’ is a high quality electronic instrument. It has been designed for
professional gold prospecting use and the electronics circuitry is housed in a
rugged case. Take care of your detector in the following way:
Keep the detector clean and dry. It is very important to keep all electrical connectors clean and dry.
The control box is not waterproof, even though it has been designed to be water-resistant. Take
care to avoid it becoming wet.
The coil is water resistant and may be used in rain or wet conditions. The coil is not waterproof. Do not
immerse the coil in water.
Regularly replace such items as teardrop washers and skidplates to give long life to your detector.
Do not expose the detector to high temperatures or leave it in the sun for longer than is necessary.
Shading will help protect it. Do not leave the detector in a closed vehicle, especially in the sun.
The coil housing will eventually wear through if you scrub the ground with it while searching. Use of a
replaceable skid plate will help to protect your coils
To prevent dirt entering between the coil and the skidplate, silk tape, e.g. Leukosilk®, which is available
from chemists, may be used. The use of some other tapes, e.g. insulation tape, may result in some loss
of sensitivity.
The control box and coil should not come into contact with petrol or other oil-based liquids. If any part of
the detector comes into contact with corrosive substances, including salt or salt water, it should be
washed with fresh water.
Clean the detector with a damp cloth using a mild soap detergent. Do not use solvents.
