Garrett Metal Detectors Infinium LS - Manual (Page 25)


remove the batteries immediately, rinse the com-
partment with fresh water and allow to air dry. The
electronics compartment is factory sealed and should
never be opened.
3. Before diving always examine the searchcoil and
headphone connectors, the battery cap and verify the
battery strength.
4. Dive with extreme caution. Observe safety practic-
es to lessen the risk of becoming entangled with the
headphones or coil cables. Ensure that the underwa-
ter headphones' vent holes are open prior to diving.
5. When using the hip mount configuration, ensure
that the belt will not interfere with diving equipment
removal in the event of an emergency.
Searching Shoreline and Shallow Surf
The Infinium LS is a highly sensitive detector and
has the capability to detect metals with only the slight-
est conductivity. As a result, the Infinium LS may
also detect high concentrations of saltwater due to
its conductivity. This effect is most noticeable when
operating at the sea's shoreline and in the shallow
surf where the searchcoil is continually encountering
passing waves.
