Maintenance
The GA-52Cx is designed and built to give trouble-free operation. Normally, maintenance is limited to the occasional replacement
of batteries. In the event that a malfunction does occur, refer to the trouble-shooting guide on page 11. It lists a few problems that can
generally be corrected in the field so that you will be able to continue using the locator without interruption.
Replacement of Batteries
The GA-52Cx is powered by two alkaline 9-Volt batteries. Alkaline or lithium batteries may be used, however lithium batteries are
recommended for their exceptional performance. The battery manufacturers advertise a 10 year shelf life, two to four times the opera-
tional life of an alkaline battery, as well as being environmentally safe. If battery leakage does occur, lithium batteries do not cause
severe damage to the unit as would alkaline batteries.
The batteries are carried in the battery holder as illustrated in Figure 18. Access to the batteries is obtained by removing the two
knurled nuts and sliding off the cover. Always replace both batteries.
NOTE
When replacing the batteries hold the instrument by the metal chassis to
avoid any contact with the printed circuit board and its components.
