Minelab SDC 2300 Manuel D'instruction page 15

Maintain the condition of your detector
and accessories by following these
recommendations.
Prior to submersing in water, ensure the
battery seal (O-ring), and the mating face
are undamaged and kept clean.
To achieve this:
Remove the battery seal with a soft tool
Wipe over the battery seal using a
clean, moistened cloth. Damaged seals
must be replaced prior to submersing
your detector
Gently brush or wipe over the mating
face (avoiding damage to the surfaces)
to remove any contamination
Visually inspect the areas to ensure all
sand, grit or other contaminants have
been removed
Refit the battery seal ensuring that it is
seated correctly and is not twisted
Fit the batteries into the detector
Ensure the battery door is fully closed
The headphones supplied are not entirely
waterproof. The headphone cable and
connector may be submersed in water,
however the earpieces must not.
Be careful not to place excessive tension
on the headphone cables.
O-ring lubricant or grease is not required
on the waterproof seal.
Use of petroleum based O-ring grease is
likely to damage the waterproof seal.
Never allow the detector to come into
contact with gasoline or other petroleum-
based liquids.
Detector Maintenance
Do not leave the detector in excessive cold
or heat longer than necessary. Covering it
when not in use will help protect it. Avoid
leaving it in a closed car trunk or in a car
exposed to sunlight.
Avoid leaving sand and grit in the shafts,
hinges or cam locks.
Do not use solvents to clean the detector.
Use a damp cloth with mild soap
detergent. Wash connectors with distilled
water.
Hose the detector with clean water after
use, especially after using in water.
Attempting to disassemble or repair the
detector will void your warranty.
Take precautions when transporting
or storing the detector. Although the
detector is constructed from the highest
quality materials and has undergone
rigorous durability tests, serious damage
could occur if not treated with due care.
Replace the coil skidplate when it is worn
through, otherwise the coil could become
damaged.
Do not leave batteries in the SDC 2300
when the detector is not in use for
extended periods. Damage caused by
leaking batteries could be severe and
would void the warranty.
