GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The AMCOM II diver communicator is designed to provide years of continuous, failure-free
service when properly used and maintained. There are a few important things that the user
can do to extend the life of their equipment.
1. Handle the diver communicator with care. Do not throw it around or drop it. Select a
work area where the communicator and wire connecting to it are out of everyone's
way so it is not knocked over.
2. Clean the communicator after use or when needed. If the equipment is on an
extended work program, have the tender clean the equipment during slow work
periods. Rinse off salt deposits with fresh water. Clean the diver connections with a
mild vinegar and water solution using a soft brush. Rinse off the connectors with
water after cleaning.
