Always remember that your detector is a sensitive electronic instrument. It is built to
withstand rugged treatment in the outdoors. Use your Garrett detector to the fullest extent
possible, and never feel that you have to baby it. Yet, always protect the detector and
handle it with reasonable care.
Try to avoid temperature extremes as much as possible, such as storing the detector in an
automobile trunk during hot summer months or outdoors in sub-freezing weather.
Keep you detector clean. Always wipe the housing after use, and wash the coil when
necessary. Protect your instrument from dust and sand as much as possible.
Your searchcoil is submersible. The control housing is not! Never submerge the control
housing and always protect it from heavy mist, rain or blowing surf.
Disassemble the stem and wipe it clean after use in sandy areas.
When storing longer that about one month, remove batteries from the detector.
REPAIR SERVICE
In case of difficulty, read this Owner’s Manual again thoroughly to make certain your
detector is not inoperable needlessly. Your dealer may also be able to offer advice.
When your detector must be returned to the factory for service, always include a letter that
describes its problem as fully as possible. Before you return your detector to the Garrett
factory, make certain:
You have checked batteries, switches and connectors. (Check batteries especially closely.
They are the most common cause of detector “failure”.)
You have checked with your dealer, particularly if you are not familiar with this type
detector.
You have included a note with the detector describing the problems you are encountering
with this detector and conditions under which they occur. Make certain to include your
name, address and a phone number where you can be contacted between 8:30 a.m. and 4
p.m., Central Time.
You have carefully packed the detector in its original shipping carton or other suitable box.
Make certain that proper insulation or packing material is used to keep all parts secure. Do
not ship stems or headphones unless they are part of the problem. Be certain to return all
coils.
