Installation
To ensure safe handling of the equipment:
1. Inspect each transit case or shipping box for physical damage prior to open-
ing.
2. Inspect each component for physical damage before installation. Check for
obvious damage and abuse, including splits, dents, cracks, broken controls,
scratches, lodged foreign objects, damaged connectors, excess moisture,
and burn marks.
3. Use adequate packaging and shock-absorbing materials to ship or store any
equipment or accessories that are stored outside of the supplied transit
cases.
4. Do not drop the equipment or place the head in an area where the faces of
the projector or hydrophone may be scratched or damaged.
5. Do not place liquids on or near the equipment where the liquid might spill into
the pointer device or electronic components.
6. Do not smoke or spill ashes on or near the pointer device.
Ensure that the equipment is properly secured before putting out to sea.
