MAINTENANCE
    Your 1225-X 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 caused by leaking 
batteries can be severe. 
2. Avoid extreme temperatures like the inside of a 
closed car sitting in the sun. Even worse, inside 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 a coil cover. 
4. Put a plastic bag over the control housing if you’re 
hunting in rain, fog or dust. 
5.  Keep  your  1225-X  dry  and  clean.  Wipe  off  the 
lower stem before sliding into the upper stem and 
keep the lock nut threads free of sand and dirt.
TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS

more and more common. In many countries, the use of metal 
detectors is illegal or severely restricted. Don’t let this happen in

ALWAYS leave a site cleaner than you found it. Take at least 
some trash with you or, if you can, take it all.

or remote wildernessness. Leave the land as it was before you 
disturbed it. 
ALWAYS obey all laws relating to Treasure Hunting.

Hunting the good image it needs and deserves.
