Care and Maintenance of the
Sonic Tracker
The following guidelines provide for trouble-free operation:
• Clean and dry all components prior to placing them into the
carrying case.
• Ensure that protective connector caps, provided on some
components, are in place when not using the cables. Water
accumulation on the connectors can cause electrical shorts.
• Do not use high-pressure spray water steam cleaner hoses directly
on cables and components. The components can be used in rain
or light spraying.
• Check the Sonic Tracker II transducer daily to make sure the
filter foam and transducer are clean and free of debris.
– If the filter foam is clogged with dirt, replace it (see “Sonic
Tracker II Transducer Cleaning” on page 6-9).
– If the transducer appears to be covered with debris, affecting
performance, clean or replace the transducer (see “Sonic
Tracker II Transducer Replacement” on page 6-10).
Sonic Tracker II Transducer Cleaning
1. Hold the Sonic Tracker II™ in an upright position to prevent
moisture from inadvertently entering the Sonic Tracker.
2. Mix a mild detergent with water and place the mixture in a spray
bottle (use Simple Green® where available).
NOTICE
This procedure is not meant to be a regular
maintenance procedure. Clean the Transducer only
when contamination is suspected or evident.
NOTICE
Cleaning the transducer too much results in a
shortened Transducer life and/or water damage to
the Sonic Tracker.
