larger hole. As you dig, occasionally check the hole with your detector to see if you have
moved the object, can probe it or have already dug it. Be sure to fill all holes after you recover
the target. Be sure to protect your hobby by leaving the site cleaner than you found it and with
all holes filled!

GENERAL INFORMATION - CARE AND USE
Basic Care
The Golden µMax is a sturdy instrument, but it is not designed to withstand abuse. In caring
for your Golden µMax, there are several important “DO NOTs” to remember. DO NOT use it
to pry rocks loose or to beat bushes out of the way. DO NOT drop the machine into water. DO
NOT use it unprotected in the rain. DO NOT leave it exposed at night where dew could form
on it. DO NOT store it in places that could get extremely hot (next to a woodstove or in an
attic). DO NOT leave it in the trunk of a car or in the back of a hatchback-style car where high
temperatures could build up. DO NOT store it with the battery installed as batteries may leak.
DO NOT spray lubricants such as WD-40, or any type of cleaners, solvents, sealants or other
chemicals into or onto the electronic parts, switches or controls. And finally, DO NOT
attempt to modify or repair the detector’s electronics as this will void your detector's
warranty.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM AN
ACCIDENT, NEGLECT OR ABUSE.
Protecting Your Investment
Often detectorists are disappointed when their new detector slowly becomes less and less
responsive and seems to have lost some of its original peak performance. You can help
prevent this from happening to your detector by following these basic care and protection
guidelines.
•
Operate your detector exactly as recommended in this Operator Instruction Manual.
•
Use only high-quality alkaline batteries of the correct voltage. Never substitute a
different voltage. When using a Ni-Cad battery, always use a separate convertible
pack with the proper voltage output for the detector’s design.
•
Remove the battery from the detector after each use. This will prevent damage to the
detector if the battery leaks.
•
The searchcoil cable is hard-wired to the searchcoil and protected by a strain relief.
Inspect the strain relief frequently to make sure it is firmly attached and intact.
•
Keep cables properly wound around the pole stems and protect them during use.
Floppy, pinched, or cables that become snagged during use may short, causing erratic
noises or unnecessary replacement of the searchcoil.
