Watertight Transmitter
Rio Rancho, NM

Lock/Unlock Screens
The control panel buttons can be locked out to avoid
inadvertent changes in the settings or turning the
unit off unintentionally. Simultaneously pressing and
holding both the UP and DOWN arrow buttons dur-
ing normal operation starts a countdown timer.
The timer starts at three and counts down to zero.
When the timer reaches zero, the transmitter’s con-
trols are locked.
With the controls locked, the AUDIO and FREQ but-
tons can still be used to display current settings. Any
attempt to change a setting by pressing either the Up
or Down arrow button will result in an on-screen
Loc
reminder that the controls are locked.
Once the transmitter is locked, it cannot be unlocked
or powered off using the buttons. The only ways to
unlock a locked transmitter are to remove the battery
or unlock it via the RM remote control.
Preventing Corrosion
Whenever the transmitter has been exposed to mois-
ture or perspiration, follow the instructions below to
minimize the risk of corrosion.
DRY THE UNIT BEFORE REMOVING THE MICRO-
PHONE CONNECTOR OR BATTERY CAPS .
If the transmitter has been exposed to salt water,
rinse it with fresh water and then dry it thoroughly
with a clean paper towel or cloth.
Dry the exterior of the transmitter with a clean paper
towel or cloth. Remove all moisture around the bat-
tery caps and microphone cable connector.
After removing the battery caps and microphone
connector, wipe off any residual moisture around the
battery compartment and microphone jack openings
and on the battery caps and microphone connector.
The O-rings should be coated with Vaseline
®
or an
equivalent petroleum jelly* before each use to en-
sure the seals are watertight.
DO NOT USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN PURE PE-
TROLEUM JELLY TO LUBRICATE THE O-RINGS.
Silicon-based lubricants will dissolve the O-rings.
Store the unit with no batteries installed, battery
caps removed and the microphone disconnected.
This will allow any buildup of humidity and moisture
to evaporate.
