Minelab SDC 2300 - Detector Maintenance

14
Maintain the condition of your
detector and accessories by following
these recommendations.
• Prior to submersing in water, ensure the
battery seal (O-ring), and the mating face
are undamaged and kept clean.
To achieve this:
• Remove the battery seal with a soft tool.
• Wipe over the battery seal using a clean,
moistened cloth. Damaged seals must
be replaced prior to submersing your
detector.
• Gently brush or wipe over the mating face
(avoiding damage to the surfaces) to
remove any contamination.
• Visually inspect the areas to ensure all
sand, grit or other contaminants have
been removed.
• Refit the battery seal ensuring that it is
seated correctly and is not twisted.
• Fit the batteries into the detector.
• Ensure the battery door is fully closed.
• The headphones supplied are not entirely
waterproof. The headphone cable and
connector may be submersed in water,
however the earpieces must not.
• Be careful not to place excessive tension on
the headphone cables.
• O-ring lubricant or grease is not required on
the waterproof seal.
• Use of petroleum based O-ring grease is
likely to damage the waterproof seal.
• Never allow the detector to come into
contact with gasoline or other petroleum-
based liquids.
• Do not leave the detector in excessive cold
or heat longer than necessary. Covering it
when not in use will help protect it. Avoid
leaving it in a closed car trunk or in a car
exposed to sunlight.
• Avoid leaving sand and grit in the shafts,
hinges or cam locks.
• Do not use solvents to clean the detector.
Use a damp cloth with mild soap detergent.
Wash connectors with distilled water.
• Hose the detector with clean water after
use, especially after using in water.
• Attempting to disassemble or repair the
detector will void your warranty.
• Take precautions when transporting or
storing the detector. Although the detector
is constructed from the highest quality
materials and has undergone rigorous
durability tests, serious damage could occur
if not treated with due care.
• Replace the coil skidplate when it is worn
through, otherwise the coil could become
damaged.
• Do not leave batteries in the SDC 2300
when the detector is not in use for extended
periods. Damage caused by leaking batteries
could be severe and would void the warranty.
• Do not dispose of the detector, battery pack
or accessories in a fire as this may result in
an explosion.
• Do not attempt to charge the Lithium-Ion
battery whilst the detector is in use.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery pack.
• Dispose of batteries as per local regulations.
