allow the compressed air to escape. If the case will not open using the steel rods, then it is under a greater
pressure than will allow the case to open. Contact VEMCO for further instructions.
When the pressure has been released from the ASCENT-AR case, carefully unscrew the end-cap from the
outer cylinder (section 5.1.1). Use fresh water to rinse the internal parts of the ASCENT-AR while avoiding
skin contact with any battery electrolyte that may have escaped from the battery.
Do not attempt to re-use the ASCENT-AR after water has been inside the case. The internal casing
protecting the electronics is not waterproof and the electronics have been destroyed by contact with water.
