GENERAL INFORMATION CARE AND USE
Basic Care
The
SHADOWx2
is a sturdy instrument, but it is not designed to withstand abuse. In
caring for your
SHADOWx2,
there are several important "DO NOTS" to remember.
DO NOT use it to pry rocks loose or to beat bushes out of the way. DO NOT drop the
machine into water. DO NOT use it unprotected in the rain. DO NOT leave it exposed at
night where dew could form on it. DO NOT store it places that could get extremely hot
(next to a woodstove, in an attic). DO NOT leave it in the trunk of a car or in the back of
a hatch-back style car where high temperatures could build up. DO NOT store it with the
battery installed as batteries may leak. DO NOT spray lubricants such as WD-40, or any
type of cleaners, solvents, sealants or other chemicals into or onto the electrical parts,
switches or controls. And finally, DO NOT attempt to modify or repair the detector's
electronics as this will void your detector's warranty.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE RESULTING
FROM AN ACCIDENT, NEGLECT OR ABUSE
Protecting Your Investment
Often detectorists are disappointed when their new detector slowly becomes less and
less responsive and seems to have lost some of its original peak performance. You can
help avoid this from happening to your detector by following these basic care and
protection guidelines.
• Operate your detector exactly as recommended in this
OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL.
• Use only high-quality alkaline batteries of the correct voltage. Never substitute a
different voltage. When using a Ni-Cad, always use a separate convertible pack
with the proper voltage output for the detector's design.
• Remove the battery from the detector after each use. This will prevent damage
to the detector if the battery leaks.
• The searchcoil cable is hard wired to the search coil and protected by a strain
relief. Inspect the strain relief frequently to make sure it is firmly attached.
