The Excalibur II is a high quality electronic instrument.

Take care of your detector in the following way:

• Visuallycheckthelowerendofbothcylindersafterenteringthewater.If

any water droplets or condensation are visible inside your Excalibur II,

turn it off and remove it from the water immediately. Remove your

batteries and contact your Minelab dealer immediately.

• Thebatteryandcontrolcylinderhavebeensealedandpressuretested.

Never open or tamper with the sealed electronics and battery cylinders,

as this will void the warranty.

• Ifwater or condensation is present in the end caps through the small

screw, contact your Minelab dealer. If it appears outside the rubber O-ring

seal it is OK.

• Avoidrapidchangesintemperature.Gradualwarmingandcoolingwill

keep the internal atmosphere stable. Extreme temperature swings may

cause a light condensation to appear on the cylinder walls for a short

time. Wait for this to disappear before using your Excalibur II.

• NeverleaveyourExcaliburIIindirectsunlightasitcanreachveryhigh

temperatures, causing irreparable damage to your coil.

• Saltdeposits,veryfinesand,andgritwillaccumulateontheExcaliburII.

Thoroughly rinsing your detector with fresh water after each use is

necessary. Disconnect the shafts, battery pack, and armrest, and flush

out all salt and sand, especially in the battery terminals. Also ensure that

the vent holes on each headphone diaphragm are rinsed and clear of

sediment. This is critical to allow for ear equalization when the Excalibur II

is used for underwater detection at depth.

Taking Care

of Your Detector

• TheNiMHbatterypackhasbeensealedandpressuretestedandshould

not be disassembled.

• Neverallowthecablestobejerkedorsnagged.Excessivetensioncould

cause the watertight seals or cable to fail.

• Aspartofthemanufacturingprocess,Minelabappliesasiliconegreaseto

the battery cable connector pins. This prevents a build-up of residual

water and reduces the level of electrolysis between the two pins, which

in turn prolongs the serviceability of your unit. This grease should be

reapplied as part of your routine care and maintenance.
