BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The MT610G is fitted with the very latest in high capacity primary lithium battery
technology. These non-rechargeable batteries are designed to operate within a
temperature range of -20°C to +55°C.
The batteries have a finite shelf life, and full operational capability of your beacon
may not be available if the batteries have exceeded their replacement date, which
is clearly marked inside the booklet label on the bottom of the unit.
Prior to reaching this date, make arrangements to have your PLB returned for
service. Service includes replacement of the battery and o-ring(s), testing the
water seal and electrical properties, and inspection of overall unit integrity.
If the red and green LED lights flash simultaneously three times when you run
the Self-Test, the PLB has detected that battery capacity may be insufficient for
continuous 24 hours operation. It is recommended that you make arrangements to
have your PLB returned for service and battery replacement as soon as possible.
NOTE
:
The MT610G batteries are not user replaceable. Battery replacement requires that the beacon be
returned to a manufacturer-approved service facility. The replacement of batteries due to expiry or
after usage is not covered by the product’s warranty.
If there is any doubt as to the PLB’s serviceability, contact your local dealer,
authorised service centre or GME Customer Support (GME Pty Ltd, PO Box 96,
Winston Hills NSW 2153, Australia; Tel: (02) 8867 6000,
