Taking Care
of Your Detector
The GPX-4500 is a high quality
electronic instrument. Take care of your
detector in the following way:
The control box is water resistant but
not waterproof. Keep all electrical
connectors clean and dry.
The coil may be used in light rain but
take care not to immerse it in water.
The control box and coil should not
come into contact with petrol or other
oil-based liquids.
Regularly remove loose dirt and dust
from the control box using a dry paint
brush. Clean the detector shaft and coil
with a damp cloth using a mild soap
detergent. Do not use solvents.
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 coil.
Regularly replace such items as coil
washers and skidplates to increase the
life of your detector.
(Taking Care of your Battery, pg. 21)
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 carbon based tapes, e.g.
insulation tape, may result in some loss
of sensitivity.
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.
Do not open the control box as this
will void your warranty. All control
box, battery and coil repairs should
be sent back to Minelab or a Minelab
authorised repairer.
