Version 3
Use original shipping boxes to provide adequate packaging and shock
absorption when shipping or storing the equipment.
Do not drop the equipment.
Do not connect or disconnect cables at the rear of the processor or from the
sonar head assembly while the processor is running. This can damage the
internal workings.
Do not bend cables beyond the recommended limits.
Do not place the sonar head in an area where the face may be scratched or
damaged. If an array must be placed on the ground, it should be placed on a
flat surface and covered with a protective padded sheet.
Do not place liquids on or near the equipment.
Do not smoke or spill ashes on or near the pointer device.
Ensure that the equipment is properly secured before putting out to sea.
When the sonar head is in air and switched on, the transmit power should be
switched off except when performing system checks, where power should be
increased to a level which is audible for a short time only on a slow repetition
rate (follow instructions in
appendix B.7 System Check ). A higher setting may
damage the transmit array ceramics. The system should only be operated
in air for very short periods of time.
Do not exceed operating and storage temperature limits.
CAUTION
Do not operate transmitters in air except during system checks.
