8. Remember that when you are out with your metal detector, you are an ambassador for our
hobby. Do nothing that may give it a bad name.

CARE OF YOUR DETECTOR

Storage
When not in use your detector should be stored in a dry warm environment. If it is not to be used for
a certain length of time it is advisable to remove the batteries to avoid leakage which could cause
serious damage. The working life of your detector will be shortened by careless use or neglect of the
unit. Think of your detector as a scientific instrument. Your detector is designed to withstand rugged
handling on any terrain, but misuse or lack of due attention will tell in the end. After using your
detector in a hostile environment (salt water, sand, etc.) The exterior parts should be flushed with
clean fresh water, paying particular attention to the head and stems, then carefully wipe dry.

DETECTOR NOT OPERATING?

(a) Check the condition of batteries under load using the meter. (See Battery Check Procedure).
(b) Check that the search head is properly attached to the control box via the search head cable
connector.
(c) Interchange batteries and ensure connections are correct and secure. Battery life can vary
tremendously between makes, therefore your 'new' batteries may already be insufficiently
powerful to run the detector.
(d) Check that NOTCH is not in ACCEPT mode.
Oscillating Signal Accompanied By Slight Meter Fluctuation
(a) This could be due to poor battery connections. Ensure that they are tight and the batteries are
securely clipped into place.
(b) Loose search head cable connection - tighten.
(c) Interference from a vehicle using a radio transmitter or possibly a stationary source of
electromagnetic radiation - if this occurs then reduce the sensitivity. If the problem persists then
the best remedy is to wait until the transmission stops.
Intermittent Sound From Speaker
(a) This could be due to poor battery connections. Ensure that they are tight and the batteries are
securely clipped into place.
(b) Loose search head cable connection - tighten.
(c) Radio interference (see above).
