 WARNING:
The waterproof seal on the battery door 
must be free of contamination prior to

underwater use, otherwise serious damage 
can be caused to your detector.
Inserting Batteries
The SDC 2300 comes standard with a Lithium-
Ion battery. Insert the battery with the arrows 
pointing towards the detector and the battery 
charge socket facing outwards. Close the latch 
to secure the battery.
The Lithium-Ion battery cannot be charged 
while inserted in the SDC 2300 battery 
compartment.
Four alkaline C cell batteries can be used to 
power the SDC 2300. Only use high quality 
alkaline or rechargeable batteries. Minelab 
recommends that only rechargeable batteries 
with a capacity of 4000 mAh or greater be 
used. Rechargeable batteries have specific 
charge/discharge maintenance requirements, 
which should be strictly followed to ensure 
maximum battery life.
Tips:
 • Always ensure that your rechargeable 
batteries are at full charge.
 • Only use high quality batteries.
The battery compartment is located at the 
rear of the detector. To open the compartment, 
twist the knob in a counter-clockwise direction, 
and then pull the door back as shown.
