The X-Terra is a high quality electronic
instrument, fi nely engineered and packaged
in a durable housing. Taking proper care
of your X-Terra is common sense.
The X-Terra's storage temperature is
-4˚F to 149˚F (-20˚C to +65˚C) and the
operating temperature is 32˚F to 113˚F
(0˚C to 45˚C). Do not leave the detector
in excessive heat or cold for longer than
necessary. Try to avoid leaving it in a
closed trunk or in a car sitting in sunlight.
Covering it when not in use will help
protect it.
The coil can be submersed in water
up to 20" (0.5m), yet the control box is
not waterproof. Although it has been
designed to be weather resistant, it is
advised to protect the control box in
wet conditions. A protective control box
cover is available. (Protective Accessories,
pg. 68)
Never allow the detector to come into
contact with gasoline or other petroleum
based liquids.
Keep the detector clean and dry
and avoid getting sand and grit into
the shafts or fastenings (e.g. yoke,
twistlocks). Do not use solvents to
clean the detector. Use a damp cloth
with mild soap detergent.
The display window may be prone to
scratching or damage if not treated with
care. A protective control box cover is
available. (Protective Accessories, pg. 68)
Ensure the coil cable is in good
condition and not subject to undue
stress (particularly where it is connected
to the coil).
Always remember to turn off the
detector before changing coils.
Previous Minelab coils will not function
with the X-Terra detector.
Old, fl at or faulty batteries may cause
many detector problems, through
electrolyte leakage. Take the batteries
out if the detector will not be used for
long periods of time (e.g. more than 1
week). Ensure that only good quality
batteries are used and that they are
replaced when the low battery signal
Do not use rechargeable Lithium Ion
batteries as their voltage is too high.
Non rechargeable Lithium batteries
may be used.
