SECTION 7
MAINTENANCE:
The MK-7 BUDDY-LINE
®
is virtually maintenance-free and should give
you great service during the life of the unit. The following are recommended
service tasks:
1)
Try to keep the headset with boom microphone as dry as possible.
2)
Do not store the Com-Rope
®
in a sealed container without drying
it first. It will mold if not dry.
3)
If the Com-Rope
®
is used in salt water, soak it in freshwater for
about five minutes before drying.
4)
If salt water gets onto the headset and/or MK-7, wipe it with a
clean cloth and freshwater. Warm water and a mild soap solution
can be used. Wipe it off with freshwater before drying.
5)
Disconnect all connectors when storing.
6)
Lightly lubricate the Hi-Use
®
connector with a good-grade sili-
cone grease.
7)
If the MK-7 is not going to be used for a long period of time, the
batteries should be removed.
- PLEASE NOTE -
ALTHOUGH THE MK-7 BUDDY-LINE
®
IS A RUGGEDLY
CONSTRUCTED PIECE OF YOUR DIVING GEAR, IT
SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE AN ELECTRONIC PIECE
OF EQUIPMENT!
! ! ! CAUTION ! ! !
USE ANY STANDARD SAFE ENTRY INTO THE WATER,
BUT BE AWARE OF THE ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
YOU ARE WEARING. BECAUSE THE COM-ROPE
®
CAN
SNAG ON THINGS, BE AWARE OF OBSTACLES IN THE
AREA AND AVOID THEM. MAKE SURE THERE IS
NOTHING IN THE WATER THE DIVER MAY HIT UPON
ENTRY.
