TRANSPORT AND STORAGE 

The following actions will ensure that your SMARTSPEED system is protected during transport for 
maximizing the life of the system –  

1.

 

Store the units in the protective cases provided 

2.

 

Ensure that the units, tripods and storage box are dry prior to storage (if the system has 
been used in the rain) 

3.

 

Secure items in the box during transport 

4.

 

Ensure the units are turned off after each session 

5.

 

Once charged, disconnect the PDA from the Grabba sleeve, and ensure the SMARTSPEED 
software is closed, and that the Bluetooth and WiFi functions are turned off.
