MAINTENANCE
Your Gold Bug-2 doesn’t require a lot of care but there are a
few things you should do to keep it in peak operating condition.
1. If you’re not going to be using it for awhile, take
the batteries out. Acid damage cause by leaking
batteries can be severe.
2. Avoid extreme temperatures. Don’t leave it inside
a closed car sitting in the sun. Even worse, the trunk
of a car.
3. If you “scrub” the search coil on the ground, you’ll
eventually wear through the bottom. Replacement
coils are expensive. Instead, invest in an
inexpensive coil cover.
4. Although the Gold Bug-2 control housing is moisture
and dust resistant, it’s a good idea to put a plastic
bag or the optional “rain cover” over the control
housing if you’re hunting in the rain.
5. Keep your Gold Bug-2 dry and clean. Wipe off the
lower stem before sliding it into the upper stem, and
keep the lock nut free of sand and dirt.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Your Gold Bug-2 operates on two 9V batteries that drop into
compartments at the rear of the control housing. Snapping
the door latch in place makes the battery connection.
