I. Cleaning
A. Both the loop and rod are waterproof and can be
cleaned with fresh water and mild soap. The control
box is not waterproof and must be kept dry. Never lift
a wet loop above the height of the control box as water
can run down the inside of the rod damaging the
electronics. A damp cotton cloth can be used to wipe
off a dirty control box.

II. Weather
A. Do not expose your detector to the conditions of a
car trunk during winter and/or summer extremes.
B. Protect it from direct sunlight during storage.
C. The control box is rain resistant. However, it must
be protected from heavy rain.
III. Saltwater
A. Saltwater is very corrosive! After your detector
has been exposed to salt, rinse the loop and rods in
fresh water. Wipe down the control box with a damp
cotton cloth. Do not allow water inside the control
box and avoid lifting the loop above the height of the
control box.
IV. Storage
A. When the instrument is not in use, make sure the
knob is turned fully counterclockwise, to the OFF
position.
B. If you plan on storing your detector for long
periods of time, remove the battery holder from the
instrument and remove the battery cells from the
holder.
C. Store the instrument indoors, in an area where it
will be protected from abuse. Over the years White’s
has noted more service repairs and physical damage,
on units in storage than those experiencing daily use.
V. Additional Precautions
A. Avoid dropping your detector while attempting to
set it down to dig.
B. Avoid using your detector for leverage when
standing up from a dig.
C. Do not use any lubricants, such as WD-
40, on any part of your detector.
D. Do not modify your instrument during
its warranty period
