MAINTENANCE:
Your 1270 doesn’t require a lot of care, nor does it require regular “maintenance”. However, you should do a few things to keep your 1270 in peak operating condition.
1.Remove the batteries if you’re not going to be using your detector for a while. Batteries can leak, and cause severe damage.
2.Avoid extreme temperatures. When parked in the sun, never leave your detector in a closed car or in the trunk.
3.If you “scrub” your detector coil on the ground, you will eventually wear through it. Invest in a coil cover. They are an inexpensive way to protect your investment.
4.Keep your 1270 clean. Periodically remove the lower stem, and wipe it down. Keep the lock nuts free of sand and dirt.
5.Keep your 1270 dry. Cover the control housing with a plastic bag or something similar if you hunting out in the rain, fog, dust, or near the surf.
