8 DETECTOR CARE
Handling/Transport
Avoid placing stress on the battery cable:
•
Never lift the detector by the battery cable.
•
Never hang the detector by the battery cable.
•
Never stand the detector upside-down with the weight of the detector on
the battery cable.
When transporting the Impulse AQ Limited, either dismantle and place in a padded
detector bag or lay in a horizontal position. Avoid placing other items on top of the
detector. Never leave the detector in a vehicle where it can be subject to extreme
heat.
Storage
Store in a dry place and avoid extreme temperatures. If the detector has been
exposed to excessive heat, it is recommended to let it to cool down before switching
it on. We recommend storing at room temperature to preserve battery capacity.
When storing the detector, charge the batteries completely before storage. If storing
for a prolonged period of time, recharge the batteries occasionally to preserve battery
capacity.
Cleaning
After any water hunting or operation near salt water,
thoroughly rinse with fresh
water
. Compress the headphone ear pads to squeeze out excess water. After
rinsing, allow the detector to completely dry out before storing. If using a coil cover
occasionally remove the cover and clean out any accumulated sand.
If salt water and/or sand get inside any one of the connectors:
•
Turn off power to detector immediately.
•
Rinse the connector thoroughly with fresh water.
•
Use a small brush with soft fibers, such as a toothbrush, to dislodge any
foreign material (do not use a wire brush of any type).
•
Allow the connector to dry thoroughly before reconnecting. You can
facilitate drying by blowing air into the connector, or you can place the
power cable, and/or battery, in a plastic bag with white rice overnight (the
rice will absorb any moisture).
