Maintenance Tips    

• Wipe down control unit, shaft, and both coils after each use to remove dirt, sand, and moisture.
• Rinse coils lightly after beach or wet ground detecting; avoid submerging the control box or electronics.
• Clean coil surfaces gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratches and preserve sensitivity.
• Keep coil connectors, shaft joints, and locking mechanisms free of sand and grit for stable performance.
• Inspect coil cables regularly for wear, tight bends, or damage—especially near the coil entry point.
• Ensure battery is charged properly and stored partially charged in a cool, dry environment.
• Avoid leaving detector in direct sunlight or hot vehicles to protect screen, seals, and battery life.
• Clean display and keypad with a damp microfiber cloth—avoid chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Tighten and check shaft locks and armrest fittings periodically for stability during use.
• Fully dry all components before storage after rain, beach, or river sessions to prevent corrosion.
• Store coils (M8 and M15) in protective padding or flat position to avoid stress or warping.
• Perform a quick function check (audio, coil response, settings) before each outing for reliability.
