Detector Care and Safety
MAINTENANCE OF PARTS
Battery Maintenance
Lithium‑ion battery performance may degrade if unused for
long periods of time� Fully charge the battery at least once
every 3 to 4 months to prevent this from occurring�
Even with correct care and maintenance, Lithium‑ion
battery performance reduces over time with normal use�
Therefore the battery may need to be replaced every few
years� Replacement batteries can be supplied and installed
by a Minelab Authorised Service Centre�
Do not apply any chemicals including O-ring
lubricant, grease or silicon grease to seals or
O-rings if replacing the internal battery, as this
will damage the battery seal�
Coil Maintenance
The Skidplate is a sacrificial/replaceable part intended to
protect the Coil from damage� Replace the Skidplate when
it becomes excessively worn, but before it wears through in
any place�

After Beach/Saltwater Detecting
Sand is abrasive, and salt can corrode metal parts of the
detector over time� Following the listed advice is essential
to avoid damage to parts of your detector�
Removing Sand From the Detector
Immediately after detecting at the beach or in saltwater,
rinse all parts of the detector with fresh water� Avoid
wiping the detector to remove sand as this may cause the
sand to scratch the detector�
Open both Camlocks and flush with clean fresh water�
Headphone Socket Maintenance
Immediately after underwater detecting sessions, make
sure that the area around the connector is dry and free of
sand/mud before disconnecting the headphones (or the
waterproof dust‑cap)�
If any sand/mud accidentally gets inside the Headphone
Socket, flush it gently with fresh water before drying it
thoroughly�
