Cleaning the transponder
The transponder must be cleaned after use.
Procedure
1 Remove any growth and dirt with a stiff brush or a wooden or plastic scraper.
Be careful not to damage the unit.
2 Clean the unit thoroughly with lots of fresh water.
3 Dry off, so no water can come inside when opening.
Opening the transponder
Always read the emergency procedures before handling lithium batteries.
Prerequisites
WARNING
A battery malfunction may have caused high pressure to build up inside the
transponder.
You must never stand in front of, or at the back of the unit, when you open it.
Open the transponder in a safe place out on the deck, shielded from people and
vital equipment.
Use a full face mask with minimum BE-filter, and protective equipment made of
rubber or plastic.
The transponder must be cleaned and dried before opening, so that no dirt or water seeps
into the unit when it is opened.
Procedure
1 Pull out the locking cord between the tube and either the top end cap, the transducer
or the top section module.
If the locking cord is hard to remove, carefully open the vent screw. Pressure may
have built up inside the transponder.
2 Remove the top section.
3 Inspect all O-rings for damage.
