CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack Three-Mode Discriminator Metal Detector with Analog Signal-
Strength Meter is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following
suggestions will help you care for your detector so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the detector's chassis dry and do not let water enter it. If the
chassis gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain min-
erals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
The searchcoil supplied with the detector is waterproof however,
and may be submerged in either fresh or salt water. After using the
searchcoil in salt water, rinse it with fresh water to prevent corrosion
of the metal parts.
Use and store the detector only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-
vices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases and can cause the detector to work improp-
erly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Batteries can
leak chemicals that damage your detector's electronic parts.
Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-
tergents to clean the detector.
Modifying or tampering with the detector's internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate your detector's warranty. If your detector is not per-
forming as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
