7.1

 

Maintenance and Troubleshooting 

Your MOB1 will require little maintenance except periodic cleaning, if required.  Always 
use a damp cloth to clean the case and dry thoroughly.  Do not use solvents or other 
cleaning fluids as this may cause the plastics to deteriorate.  Ensure the antenna is free to 
unwind. 

7.2

 

Batteries 

The MOB1 contains Lithium metal batteries for long operating life.  Your battery must be 
replaced either prior to the expiry date or after the MOB1 has been used, even if only 
activated for a short period of time.  Battery replacement must be carried out at an Ocean 
Signal authorised battery replacement centre. 

7.3

 

Transport 

When shipping your MOB1 the following guidance and regulations should be followed, but 
you are advised to contact your nearest battery replacement centre or Ocean Signal prior 
to shipping as regulations may have changed. 

 

Always pack your MOB1 securely in a stout cardboard carton.  Ocean Signal advises 
that you keep the original packaging in case of return for service.

 

 

For surface transport the MOB1 may be shipped under special provision 188.

 

 

For air transport the MOB1 should be shipped as category UN3091 and packed under 
IATA packing instruction 970 section II.  If you are hand carrying your MOB1 on an 
aircraft please contact you airline for advice.

 

 

Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for information on carrying the life jacket on 
board aircraft.

 

7.4

 

Disposal 

Care should be taken when disposing of your MOB1 when it is no longer required.  It is 
recommended to remove the battery from the MOB1 by removing the case lid.  The case 
screws are covered by the top label.  Dispose of the battery in accordance with local waste 
regulations.  Please note that the MOB1 is not user serviceable and opening the case 
will invalidate the warranty.
