CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Discovery 1100 Metal Detector is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so you can enjoy it for years to come.
Keep the detector’s chassis dry and do not let water enter it. If the chassis gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the detector to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Old batteries can leak chemicals that damage your detector’s electronic parts.
Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean it.
Modify or tampering with the detector’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate it’s warranty.
The searchcoil supplied with the detector is waterproof however, and may be submerged in either fresh or salt water. After using the searchcoil in salt water, rinse it with fresh water to prevent corrosion of the metal parts.
