Proper care
III. Storage
A. When the instrument is not in use, make sure
it is turned OFF.
B. If you plan on storing your detector for long,
remove the battery holder from the instrument
and remove the batteries from the holder.
C. Store the instrument indoors, in an area
where it will be protected from abuse. Over the
years White’s has noted more service repairs
and physical damage, on units in storage than
those experiencing daily use.
IV. Additional Precautions
A. Avoid dropping your detector while attempt
ing to set it down to dig.
B. Avoid using your detector for leverage when
standing up from a dig.
C. Do not use any lubricants, such as WD-40,
on any part of your detector.
D. Do not modify your instrument during its
warranty period.
I. Cleaning
A. Both the coil and rod are waterproof and can
be cleaned with fresh water and mild soap. The
control box is not water proof and must be kept
dry. Never lift a wet coil above the height of
the control box as water can run down the
inside of the rod damaging the electronics. A
damp cotton cloth can be used to wipe off a
dirty control box.
II. Weather
A. Do not expose your detector to the condi-
tions of a car trunk during winter and/or sum-
mer extremes.
B. Protect it from direct sunlight during storage.
C. The control box is rain resistant. However, it
must be protected from heavy rain.
