Detector Care and Safety
GENERAL CARE AND SAFETY
Wash your hands before handling the detector when using sunscreen or insect repellents.
The Display lens is made from quality optical plastic for clear viewing of the screen and is therefore prone to scratching
or serious damage if not treated with due care. Application of the supplied screen protector is strongly recommended.
Replace it periodically if it becomes scuffed or scratched.
Never clean the Display lens using solvents or alcohol-based cleaners. To clean the Display lens, use a slightly damp
cloth with mild soap detergent. Dry with a clean lint-free cloth to remove water-spots.
Do not use solvent or alcohol-based cleaners to clean any part of your detector. Use a slightly damp cloth with mild
soap detergent.
Do not submerge the detector in water with the Control Pod disassembled from the shaft, as the battery compartment
is only waterproof when assembled to the supplied shaft. Note also that the use of after-market shafts prevents the
battery compartment from sealing correctly, causing it to leak/become damaged.
Do not allow the detector to come into contact with gasoline/petrol or other petroleum-based liquids.
Do not bring the detector or accessories into contact with sharp objects as this may cause scratches and damage.
Avoid getting sand and grit in any moving parts including the Shafts, Camlocks and Yoke assembly. If sand and grit
accumulates in these parts they should be rinsed in fresh water then dried thoroughly.
Prior to going detecting, check that the Camlocks are gripping the Shafts tightly and do not slip. Follow the advice
listed in "Maintenance of Parts" — "Tightening the Camlocks" (page 73).
Do not expose the detector to extreme temperature conditions. The storage temperature range is from −20°C to +70°C
(−4°F to +158°F). Avoid leaving it in a hot vehicle.
Ensure the Coil Cable is kept in good condition, free of strain, kinks and tight bends.
Do not expose accessories not listed as waterproof to liquid/moisture or excessive humidity.
Do not allow small children to play with the detector or accessories, small parts are a choking hazard.
Only charge the detector and accessories according to the instructions provided.
Do not charge the detector or accessories in extreme temperature conditions — Only charge the detector in ambient
temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F).
Do not use tools to tighten the Coil Connector to the Control Pod, this will damage the Control Pod. If the Coil
Connector is not fitting easily, flush any dirt/grit away with fresh water then allow it to dry before trying again.
Do not attempt to adjust the Coil Connector nut on the back of the Control Pod. This is locked in place and tampering
will damage the Control Pod.
Do not poke sharp objects into the grille to clean it, this will damage the Speaker and compromise waterproofing. Clean
the Speaker by flushing fresh water through the grille.
