2.3.0 WEARING THE AU9 WITH DIVER CONVERSION KIT FITTED
During and after a dive the AU9 should be carried rolled up in the pouch provided or alternatively
in a secure pocket, take care not to crease the antenna spring or to put too much strain on the led
section. Ensure it is positioned in an easy to reach place should you need to deploy the unit
quickly. In order to provide a strong ‘SOS’ signal for rescuers to home into, when activated, the
antenna of your AU9 should be positioned out of the water (i.e. above the water line) as much as
possible. The AU9 will not transmit a trackable signal with the antenna completely submerged. Fig.
13 indicates how the strongest ‘SOS’ signal can be achieved.
