HEADPHONE SOCKET SUBMERSION
Before detecting underwater without headphones, always
make sure the waterproof dust-cap is securely fitted to the
Headphone Socket�
While the uncovered Headphone Socket is waterproof
and can be submerged without immediately damaging the
internal electronics of the detector, it can cause corrosion
of the socket and false headphone detection�
Whenever the Headphone Socket has been
submerged, follow all advice listed in
