CARE OF YOUR XTERRA
The X-TERRA is a high quality electronic 
instrument, finely engineered and packaged in 
a durable housing. Taking proper care of your 
X-TERRA is common sense. 
  The X-TERRA’s storage temperature is –4˚F to 
149˚F (–20˚C to +65˚C) and the operating 
temperature is 32˚F to 113˚F (0˚C to 45˚C). 
Do not leave the detector in excessive heat 
or cold for longer than necessary. Try to 
avoid leaving it in a closed trunk or in a car 
sitting in sunlight. Covering it when not in 
use will help protect it.
  The coil can be submersed in water up 
to 20” (0.5m), yet the control box is not 
waterproof. Although it has been designed 
to be weather resistant, it is advised to 
protect the control box in wet conditions. 
A protective control box cover is available.

  Never allow the detector to come into 
contact with gasoline or other petroleum 
based liquids. 
  Keep the detector clean and dry and avoid 
getting sand and grit into the shafts or 
fastenings (e.g. yoke, twistlocks). Do not use 
solvents to clean the detector. Use a damp 
cloth with mild soap detergent.
