Detector Care
The Sovereign Elite is a high-quality electronic instrument, finely
engineered and packaged in a durable housing. Taking proper care of
the detector is mostly common sense.
•
Do not leave alkaline batteries in the control box when the
detector is not in use for any 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 a car
sitting in sunlight.
•
While the coil of the detector is designed to be waterproof, the
control box is quite susceptible to water intrusion. Always protect
it when using the detector in rain or on the beach where salt
spray is prevalent. Using the accessory hipmount bag to protect
the control box will overcome this in most weather.
•
Never allow the box to come into contact with gasoline or
other oil-based liquids.
•
Keep the detector 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.
•
Flat or faulty batteries cause many detector problems. Ensure
that only quality alkaline batteries are used, and that they are
replaced when the warning signal indicated through the
headphones or speaker is heard.
•
Ensure the coil cable is in good condition and not subject to
undue stress. Do not undo or loosen the coil connector at the
base of the cable where it enters the coil. This should always be
firmly tight.
