Minelab GPZ7000 User Manual

Detector Care and Safety
The GPZ 7000 is a high-quality electronic instrument,
finely engineered and packaged in a durable housing.
Taking proper care of your detector is vital to ensure its
ongoing reliability.
The GPZ 7000 detector is weatherproof for detecting in
rainy/wet conditions, but is not waterproof and cannot be
submersed.
WARNING
Please note the following:
Unauthorised modications or repairs to your
detector will VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
In the event of a fault, return your detector to
a Minelab Authorised Service Centre for repair.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the
Control Box, Control Panel, Handle, WM 12,
Battery, Coil or Headphones.
Opening, attempting to open or damaging the
labels on any components will VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
The use of unapproved components will also
VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Minelab will not repair
modified detectors.
• The GPZ7000 detector, WM12, and headphones
are not waterproof – Do not immerse in any liquid or
allow water ingress.
The GPZ 14 coil is waterproof to one metre (3 feet)
depth.
1 m
(3')
The GPZ 14 coil can be immersed into water to 1 m depth. The
detector body and WM 12 must not be immersed.
• Minelab recommends that prior to use, care is taken to
ensure the battery seal (o-ring), the seal seating groove
and the mating face of the battery are undamaged and
kept clean so that the detector remains weatherproof.
See page 56 for instructions on maintaining your
battery.
• Do not use lubricant or grease on dust seals or o-rings.
• Do not leave the detector in excessive cold or heat
longer than necessary. Covering it when not in use will
help protect it. Avoid leaving it in a closed car trunk or
in a car exposed to sunlight.
• Never allow the detector to come into contact with
gasoline or other petroleum-based liquids.
• Avoid getting sand and grit into the shafts or fastenings
(e.g. yoke bolt and cam lock). Do not use solvents to
clean the detector. Use a damp cloth with mild soap
detergent. Wash connectors with distilled water.
• Ensure that your detector is kept clean. We recommend
wiping it with a damp cloth and mild soap detergent.
• If the carbon-fibre shafts become noticeably scratched,
wipe them thoroughly with a damp cloth.
• Ensure the coil cable is in good condition and is not
subjected to undue stress.
• Take precautions when transporting or storing the
detector. Although the detector is constructed from the
highest quality materials and has undergone rigorous
durability tests, it must be treated with care.
• Take care not to scratch the control panel screen.
• The lower shaft to coil attachment is optimised for
performance and rigidity in the normal detecting
position.
Avoid pivoting the detector forward of the vertical
position as this places additional strain on the coil
cable.
