marked  FH1  and  is  a  cylindrical  component.  Verify  that  the  fuse  is  good  by 
checking  the  continuity  with  a  multi-meter.  If  the  fuse  is  open,  replace  with  the 
same type: 3.15 Amp, 250V, Fast Acting. Close the lid; re-install the screws and re-
test  the  communicator.  If  the  communicator  still  appears  dead,  contact  Amron  for 
further assistance. 

5.4.4 

Low Volume 

Check  the  volume  control  settings  and  adjust  if  necessary.  Check  the  diver 
connections and verify that the diver and tender are connected as intended. Verify 
the  wires  and  connectors  are  clean  and  tight.  Check  the  BATTERY  CONDITION 
INDICATOR  and/or  AC  power  connection.  If  the  problem  persists,  disconnect  the 
diver umbilical and perform the communicator check out procedure per section 5.1. 
If  the  communicator  fails  the  check-out  procedure,  contact  Amron  for  further 
assistance. 

If  the  communicator  checks  out,  then  the  problem  is  likely  in  either  the  diver 
umbilical  communication  cable,  the  wiring  of  the  diving  hat/helmet  or  the  diver's 
microphone/earphone. 

5.4.5 

Garbled Voice To The Diver 

The TENDER TO DIVER VOLUME control is set too high. Reduce this control until 
the  voice  signal  clears.  If  this  does  not  solve  the  problem,  check  the  diver's 
earphone for corrosion or other defect. Replace if necessary. If the tender is using 
a  headset,  remove  the  headset  and  communicate  to  the  diver  by  pressing  the 
PUSH-TO-TALK BUTTON and talking into the PANEL SPEAKER. If this solves the 
problem then the tender headset may be wet or defective. If the tender is using the 
PANEL  SPEAKER  to  talk  to  the  diver,  check  the  speaker  for  any  accumulated 
water. Drain the speaker if necessary. If these steps do not solve the problem then 
disconnect the diver umbilical and perform the communicator check out procedure 
per section  5.1. If the communicator fails the check-out procedure, contact  Amron 
for further assistance. If the communicator checks out, then the problem is likely in 
the diver umbilical communication cable. If possible, substitute a known good cable 
to verify 

5.4.6 

Garbled Voice To The Tender 

The DIVER TO TENDER VOLUME control is set too high. Reduce this control until 
the  voice  signal  clears.  If  this  does  not  solve  the  problem,  check  the  diver's 
microphone  for  corrosion  or  other  defect.  Replace  if  necessary.  If  the  tender  is 
using  a  headset,  remove  the  headset  and  listen  to  the  diver  using  the  PANEL 
SPEAKER.  If  this  solves  the  problem  then  the  tender  headset  may  be  wet  or 
defective. If the tender is using the PANEL SPEAKER to talk to the diver, check the 
speaker for any accumulated water. Drain the speaker if necessary. If these steps 
have  not solved  the  problem,  then  disconnect  the  diver  umbilical  and  perform  the 
communicator  check  out  procedure  per  section  5.1.  If  the  communicator  fails  the 
check-out  procedure,  contact  Amron  for  further  assistance.  If  the  communicator 
checks out, then the problem is likely in the diver umbilical communication cable. If 
possible, substitute a known good cable to verify.
