Description
A detector display lives at knee height in blowing sand and face height in brush, and it gets set face-down on tailgates. A scratch in the lens is permanent. A scratch in a protector peels off. Minelab sells the protector for the EQUINOX 700 and 900 in a five-pack, printed with the English keypad labels, and it is the same pack the X-TERRA PRO uses.
At a glance
Genuine Minelab EQUINOX 700/900 and X-TERRA PRO screen protector pack, part 3011-0472, UPC 811493019338. Minelab's own listing: Screen Protector for EQUINOX 700 | 900 - English (5 pack). Sold by History Seekers Metal Detectors, an authorized Minelab dealer; same-brand fitment, Minelab's own description, nothing invented.
Why this part
Minelab's own page lists this as the EQUINOX 700 | 900 screen protector, English, 5 pack; Minelab's dealer price list carries the same part number for the X-TERRA PRO, which shares the display and keypad layout. Two things make it worth buying over a generic film. First, it is cut to the window and printed with the control labels, so the keypad reads exactly as it did from the factory instead of through a blank sheet. Second, it is five sheets, so you refresh the film when it clouds or scratches instead of rationing one. The display is the one part of these machines you cannot replace cheaply; the film is the part that is meant to wear.

Fitting it and keeping it working
Apply it indoors: clean the lens with a damp cloth, dry it, then lay the film from one edge and press out from the center with a card so no sand is trapped underneath. Change it when the film clouds; the display underneath will still be perfect.
