MAINTENANCE
5.1 SP-100D SURFACE BUDDY PHONE ®
Although the SP-100D Surface Buddy Phone ® is rugged in design, it should be
treated like any good-quality electronic equipment. Avoid transportation modes
that would expose the unit to constant vibrations and knocking about. Ship the unit
well packaged,
without the batteries installed.
After use, wipe the unit free of dirt, debris, and water. Use a clean, soft cloth. Warm
water with a small amount of nonabrasive soap is the recommended cleaning solu-
tion.
When the SP-100D is not being used, it is a good idea to keep the cover securely
fastened.
Remember, when the transducer assembly is connected to the SP-100D, the power
is
on . To conserve energy when securing or cleaning the SP-100D, disconnect the
transducer connector from the front panel.
5.2 TCA-35 TRANSDUCER
The transducer should be kept clean and free of oils. The transducer itself can be
cleaned with rubbing alcohol. If wet after a dive, the transducer assembly should
be sotred in a separate container.
5.3 HHM-3 HAND-HELD MICROPHONE
Store the hand-held microphone in a dry area. The microphone is not waterproof
and should be kept as dry as possible. Keep it free of water and from water spray.
Mild soap solution, wiping dry afterward, if the preferred cleaning method.
5.4 BATTERIES
Inspect the batteries periodically to ensure they are in good order and not leaking.
