Apply a thin, even coat of XP Silicone Grease to the male threads of the coil cable connector and the O-ring groove before threading into the detector body. Use a fingertip or cotton swab to spread the grease, ensuring complete coverage without excess buildup. Thread the connector slowly to distribute the grease evenly across the seal interface, then wipe any excess from external surfaces to prevent sand or dirt accumulation. For headphone jacks, apply grease to the threaded cap or port cover, not to internal contact pins. Reapply after each water session or when connectors show resistance during assembly. Regular use helps prevent moisture intrusion, corrosion, and wear, ensuring reliable connections in all detecting environments.
