Inspect the O-ring for any signs of deterioration. If found, remove the O-ring by pressing the
sides with your finger tips to cause it to protrude slightly from the grooves of the Battery Hatch
and discard. DO NOT use tools to remove.
Closely check the threads of the Battery Hatch and the Housing for any signs of damage that
might impair proper threading. If found, return your module to your Authorized Aeris Dealer,
and DO NOT attempt to use it until it has received factory service.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to disassemble any other portion of the module.
Doing so may cause a dangerous malfunction, resulting in possible injury or
death. Indication of tampering with the module will void the unit's warranty.
Turn the unit over to drop out the Battery. Discard of properly.
Check the metal contacts inside the Battery Compartment (Fig. 89a) for any signs of stress
(bending or breakage) and any signs of corrosion indicating entrance of moisture. If found, re-
turn the module to your Authorized Aeris Dealer for inspection.
If water or corrosion is found, and you are attempting a repair in
the field, proceed as follows:
Inspect the Lens, Case, and Button areas to ensure there is no
damage or cracks.
Check the O-ring seating surfaces for nicks, cuts, or divots.
Flush the Battery Hatch and Compartment with a solution of
50% white vinegar and 50% fresh water. Rinse thoroughly with
fresh water and allow to air dry overnight, or blow dry with a hair
dryer set at No Heat.
