Detector Care
The Musketeers are high-quality electronic instruments, finely engineered and
packaged in a durable housing. Taking proper care of them is mostly common
sense.
• Do not leave batteries in the control box when the detector is not in
use for a period exceeding two weeks. Damage caused by leaking
batteries would be severe and would void the warranty through user
negligence.
• If temperatures are very high, do not leave the detector in the sun for
longer than necessary. Covering it when not in use will help protect it.
Try to avoid leaving it in a closed trunk or in the car sitting in sunlight.
• While the control box has been designed to be water-resistant, it is not
waterproof. Avoid wetting it unnecessarily. Never allow the box to come
into contact with gasoline or other oil-based liquids.
• Keep the unit clean and dry and avoid getting sand and grit into the
shafts or the tightening nuts. Do not use solvents to clean the detector. Use
a damp cloth with mild soap detergent.
• Batteries. Flat or faulty batteries cause many detector problems. Ensure
that you use only quality alkaline batteries and that they arc replaced when
the warning signal indicated through the headphones or speaker is heard.
• Cables. Ensure the coil cable is in good condition and not subject to undue
stress. The coil connector at the base of the cable must be firmly tightened.
