The following suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so
you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the metal detector dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic
circuits.
Use and store the metal detector only in normal temperature
environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic
parts.
Keep the metal detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
Handle the metal detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the metal detector
to work improperly.
Wipe the metal detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the metal detector.
Modifying or tampering with the metal detector’s internal parts can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate your metal detector’s warranty.
The search coil supplied with the detector is waterproof and can be
submerged in either fresh or salt water. However, do not let water enter
the detector’s control housing. After using the search coil in salt water,
rinse it with fresh water to prevent corrosion of the metal parts.
