8.Maintenance

The SD2100v2 is a high quality electronic instrument which is finely engineered and housed in a durable container. Taking care of it is common sense.

·It isvitally important to keep all the connectors dry and clean.

·DO NOT expose the detector to high temperatures, or leave it in the sun longer than necessary. Shading it will help protect it. Avoid leaving it in a closed vehicle, especially in the sun.

·The search coil housing will wear through if you scrub the ground with it while searching. Minelab recommends that you use a replaceable Skidplate on the coils to protect them.

·Extra protection can be gained by covering the perimeter of the coil with a silk tape such as Leukosilk® (which is available from chemists). Using other tapes, such as insulation tape, can result in a loss of performance.

·The control box is not waterproof, even though it has been designed to be water-resistant. Avoid getting it wet.

·The coil is not waterproof. Although it is water resistant and can be used in the rain and in wet vegetation, etc., it should not be immersed in water.

·The control box and coil must not come into contact with petrol or other oil-based liquids.

If any part of the detector comes into contact with corrosive substances, including salt or salt water, it must be washed with fresh water. Keep the unit dry and clean. DO NOT use solvents to clean the detector — use a damp cloth with mild soap detergent.
