Salt damage
Salty air can penetrate the control box in case of frequent use in a salty environment. Parts of
•
the electronic circuitry may corrode. You can protect your metal detector by covering the control
box with polythene. The warranty does not cover damage caused by salty environments.
Storage
Store the detector in a dry and warm environment under normal humidity conditions.
•
Remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking if the metal detector is to be stored for long
•
periods.

Troubleshooting
Before turning the device in for repair, read this section as it might contain the solution for your
•
problem.
When problems occur, first check the batteries. Replace the batteries when necessary and
•
ensure the connections are correct and secure.
The detector drifts out of tune
The metal detector can be affected by changing temperatures e.g. when the device is taken out
•
of storage and out into the field. Wait a while until the temperature of your CS130 has stabilised.
The device may need as much as half an hour to acclimatise if the change in temperature is
extreme.
Sometimes batteries will cause the signal to drift. Replace them if this is the case.

Code of Conduct
•
Do not interfere with archaeological sites or ancient monuments. Join your local archaeological
society if you are interested in ancient history.
Do not leave a mess. Use a sharpened trowel or knife to cut a neat circle or triangle, extract the
•
object and carefully replace the soil and the grass.
Help keep your country tidy. Bottle tops, silver paper and tin cans belong in a waste bin. Rusty
•
iron and other scrap should be collected and taken to a specialized company for further handling.
Do not trespass: ask permission before venturing onto private property.
•
Report all historical finds to the local museum or government and get expert help if you
•
accidentally discover a site of archaeological interest.
Be very careful if you discover any live ammunition or any lethal object such as an unexploded
•
mine. Do not touch the object! Mark the site carefully and report the find at once to the local
police.
Do not leave gates open when crossing fields and do not damage crops or frighten animals.
•
•
Try to get along with any other detector you may meet. There is much to be learnt from
experienced users.
Always obey local laws and regulations. Contact your local government for more information.
•
Notice: It is illegal for anyone to use a metal detector on a scheduled ancient monument unless
permission has been obtained from the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monument
Commission for England or the Secretary of State for the Environment in Scotland and
Wales.

Batteries
When battery-voltage is low (<8.8V), the low battery indicator [1] lights up and batteries must
•
be replaced to ensure correct functioning of the detector.
Switch off the detector by turning the VOLUME button [2] counter clockwise until a click is
•
heard.
Open the compartments [D] and insert a new 9V AA battery (6LR61C, not included).
•
Close the battery compartment. The detector is now ready for use.
•
WARNING:
Do not puncture or throw batteries in fire as they might explode.
Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Keep batteries away from children.
