CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Commando Metal Detector is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your
metal detector so that you can enjoy it for years.
Handle the metal detector gently
and carefully. Dropping it can
damage electronic components.
Use and store the metal detector
only in normal temperature
environments. Extreme
temperatures can shorten the
life of electronic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Wipe the metal detector with a
damp cloth occasionally to keep
it looking new. Do not use harsh
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the
metal detector.
The coil is waterproof and may
be submerged into either fresh or
salt water. Be careful to prevent
water from entering the control
housing. After using the coil in
salt water, rinse it with fresh
water to prevent corrosion of the
metal parts.
