3.2 Important Considerations
Before using your Artemis System, please read and follow these safety considerations…
If you have any other safety or operational queries, please contact Artemis technical
support (see page 64).
3.2.1 Operation
 Do not rely on this product or its sensors as a primary means of life-support during
or after a dive. Artemis is designed as a survey tool, and not as an alternative or
replacement for dive-computers or similar apparatus.
 Do not use this product if any of the cabling, or housings of its component parts
appear to be damaged or compromised for the ingress of water (where required to
be watertight).
 Do not attempt to disassemble or service this product yourself (outside the scope
described in this manual). Contact Artemis technical support for any maintenance,
spares or repair work required.
 Do not submerge the console, unless all blanking plugs are fitted in unused
electrical connector sockets, and the battery housing cap is secured.
3.2.2 Maintenance & Cleaning
When you have finished using your Artemis system, you should…
 Wash the system in fresh water, if it has been used in salt-water, to prevent
corrosion and damage to rubber mouldings.
 Remove any weed, or other detritus, that may have been collected during its
operation.
Additionally please observe the following precautions for cleaning and maintenance…
 Do not clean with solvents, and only use a damp cloth on the exterior of the unit.
 Do not undertake maintenance of the unit, outside the scope of that defined within
this manual, unless instructed to do so by technical support.
 Do not attempt to modify any of the system cables, power cords or plugs.
 Do not insert extraneous objects (metal or other) into the unit or any of its
connector apertures.
3.2.3 Storage
When storing or shipping the Artemis system, please observe the following…
 Do not store the unit in direct or strong sunlight, as this may cause surfaces or
transparent windows to discolour, perish cable insulation and other rubber
mouldings.
 To prevent corrosion, remove any salt or other residues from the product before
storage.
 Store in the recommended temperature range (see page 67), and avoid excessive
and large fluctuations in temperature.
 Store in a well ventilated enclosure after use, to allow any moisture on system
components to evaporate naturally.
 Do not store battery packs in a discharged state, as this may reduce operational life
or cause premature ageing of the cell. When storing batteries for more than one
year, charge at least once a year to prevent leakage and deterioration of
performance due to self-discharging.
 Do not leave battery packs in the battery housing for long periods of
storage, and cells may leak and damage the seals and interior of the
housing.
