7 Wipe clean all exposed cables, and check for damage.
If a cable shows signs of wear or ageing, contact Kongsberg Maritime for advice.
8 Check if the unit contains batteries.
If the unit contains batteries, these may discharge slowly during storage. If the unit
is to be stored for an extended period, disconnect or remove all internal batteries.
A suitable piece of insulating material can be placed between the battery and the
electrical contacts to prevent electrical discharge. The battery can then remain in
the unit, reducing the risk of it being misplaced during the storage period.
Caution
Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be handled separately and
with care. Such units are marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such
batteries, open them, or dispose of them by incineration.
Refer to the applicable product data sheets or battery handling procedures for
further details.
