Fisher M-SCOPE 1270 - Manual (Page 16)

Your 1270 doesn’t require a lot of care, nor does it require regular
“maintenance”. However, you should do a few things to keep
your 1270 in peak operating condition.
1. Remove the batteries if you’re not going to be using your detector for a
while. Batteries can leak, and cause severe damage.
2. Avoid extreme temperatures. When parked in the sun, never leave your
detector in a closed car or in the trunk.
3. If you “scrub” your detector coil on the ground, you will eventually wear
through it. Invest in a coil cover. They are an inexpensive way to protect
your investment.
4. Keep your 1270 clean. Periodically remove the lower stem, and wipe it
down. Keep the lock nuts free of sand and dirt.
5. Keep your 1270 dry. Cover the control housing with a plastic bag or
something similar if you hunting out in the rain, fog, dust, or near the surf.
Laws governing the use of metal detectors are common in some
areas. In many countries, the use of metal detectors is illegal or
severely restricted. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN IN YOUR COUNTRY!
1. Always get permission to hunt on private property
2. Always leave a site cleaner then you found it. Take your trash with you.
3. Always fill in your holes neatly whether you’re in a city park or remote
wilderness. Leave the land the way it was before you disturbed it.
4. Always obey all laws relating to Treasure Hunting
5. Always return valuable property if you can locate the original owner
6. Always do whatever you can to give the hobby of Treasure Hunting the
good image it needs and deserves.
