5.
While you have grease on your glove, spread a very thin layer of the grease –
enough to make the area appear shinny – around the O-ring surface on the inside of
the Outer Cylinder (the smooth area between the threads and the end of the case).
You shouldn’t be able to see grease globs or streaks. This thin layer of grease will
make screwing the two pieces together again much easier and will also help to
create a better seal.

Install O-ring
Now that the O-rings and O-ring surfaces are clean and prepared, we’re ready to install the new O-rings into
the case.
Always wear protective gloves when handling O-ring grease!
1.
Slowly move one of the O-rings along the body of the VR2AR to the end
cap and carefully lift it over the threads.
2.
Push the O-ring into the first O-ring groove and check the circumference of
the receiver to make sure the entire O-ring is in the groove.
3.
Slowly move the second O-ring over the VR2AR’s body, over the threads,
and into the remaining groove. Check that it’s entirely in the groove.
4.
Clean any grease that may have gotten on the body of the receiver.
5.
Place the receiver on a clean surface so the O-rings remain debris and
damage free.

Storage
When a receiver will not be deployed for an extended period of time, remove the D-cell battery from the
receiver (section 5.1.2) to stop the VR2AR from recording. This will prevent the possibility of recording
pings from noise sources during storage and also saves battery life. Storing the VR2AR with a depleted
battery can negatively impact the receiver functionality.
Be sure to store the VR2AR in a safe location where the case will not be damaged.
Also, be sure the temperature of the receiver during storage does not exceed the
operating temperature specified in section 9.3.
It is strongly suggested that the VR2AR not be initialized prior to storage (Do not erase data) and a backup of
all offloaded data is made immediately.
Do not disconnect
the AA battery.
