Detector Care and Safety
The CTX 3030 is a high-quality electronic instrument, finely engineered and
packaged in a durable housing. Taking proper care of your detector is vital to ensure
its ongoing reliability.
Not all parts of the CTX 3030 are waterproof.
Minelab recommends that prior to submersing in water, care is taken to ensure the battery
seal (o-ring), the seal seating groove and the mating face of the battery are undamaged and
kept clean. To achieve this, we recommend:
•
Remove the battery seal with a soft tool
•
Gently brush or wipe out the battery seal groove and battery mating face avoiding
damage to the surfaces
•
Wipe over the battery seal using a clean, moistened cloth
•
Visually inspect the areas to ensure all sand, grit or other contaminants have been
removed
•
Refit the battery seal ensuring that it is seated at the bottom of the groove, is not
twisted, and the corners are aligned
•
Fit the battery to the detector.
•
Ensure the battery clips are fully closed
•
Damaged seals or batteries must be replaced prior to submersing your detector.
O-ring lubricant or grease is not required on waterproof seals.
Do not use a petroleum based o-ring grease as it is likely to damage the waterproof seals.
Do not leave the alkaline battery pack in the CTX 3030 when the detector is not in use for
extended periods. Damage caused by leaking batteries could be severe and would void the
warranty.
Do not leave the detector in excessive cold or heat longer than necessary. Covering it when
not in use will help protect it. Avoid leaving it in a closed car trunk or in a car exposed to
sunlight.
Never allow the detector to come into contact with gasoline or other petroleum-based
liquids.
Avoid getting sand and grit into the shafts or fastenings (e.g. yoke bolt and cam lock). Do
not use solvents to clean the detector. Use a damp cloth with mild soap detergent. Wash
connectors with distilled water.
Hose the detector with clean water after use on the beach (wading or submersion).
If, through extensive use, the carbon-fiber upper or lower shafts become noticeably scored,
wipe these thoroughly with a damp cloth.
Ensure the coil cable is in good condition and not subject to undue stress.
Flat or faulty batteries cause detector problems. Ensure that only quality alkaline batteries are
used, and that they are replaced when you hear the warning signal through the headphones
or speaker.
Do not dispose of the battery pack in fire (contact local authorities for disposal/recycling). Do
not attempt to disassemble or short circuit the battery pack.
Take precautions when transporting or storing the detector. Although the detector is
constructed from the highest quality materials and has undergone rigorous durability tests,
the display screen could be prone to scratching or serious damage if not treated with due
care.
