14. Care of the Eureka Gold Detector
The Eureka Gold is a high-quality electronic instrument, finely engineered
and packaged in a durable housing. Proper care and maintenance will
ensure long-term reliability of the detector.
Please observe the following precautions:
• • • • •
Do not leave the alkaline batteries in the control box when the
detector is not in use. Damage caused by leaking batteries can be
severe and will void the warranty.
•
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 behind glass 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 (especially connectors) clean and dry, and avoid getting
sand and grit into the shafts. Do not use solvents to clean the
detector. Use a damp cloth with mild soap detergent.
• • • • •
Flat or faulty batteries cause many detector problems. Ensure that
you use only Minelab NiMH rechargeable batteries and that they are
recharged as soon as the 'Low Battery' warning signal is heard.
Ensure that only quality alkaline 'AA' batteries are used and that they
are replaced when the warning signal indicates.
•
Ensure that you only use Minelab's NiMH battery charger as per
previous instructions.
• • • • •
Ensure the coil cable is in good condition and not subject to undue
stress.
