Action Summary
Diver Modem
•
Make sure the O-ring on the connector is free of defects and is lightly lubed
with O-ring lube. The O-ring should have a slightly greasy appearance with
no lube visible. A small tube of Christo-Lube (or similar) has been provided
for this purpose. If the O-ring needs replaced use the plastic O-ring pick to
remove the defective O-ring, discard and replace with a new O-ring. A small
tube of O-ring lube, a plastic O-ring pick and spare O-rings are provided in
the Tools & Spares Kit.
•
Make sure the connector O-ring is installed in the O-ring groove. Then install
the screw-on cap to protect the connector from seawater.
•
Turn on the Diver Modem pushing the button in the bottom of the modem.
•
Attach the Diver Modem to SCUBA Equipment.
•
NOTE: If using a Diver6 Accessory that plugs into the connector, the rubber
shoulders of the contact pins need lightly lube with silicone grease. A tube of
Dow Corning #4 Grease is provided for this purpose in the Tools & Spares Kit.
•
As with all sealed SCUBA equipment, when not in use keep the Diver Modem
dry to prevent the Diver Modem from overheating in direct sunlight. If the
Diver Modem heats up too much the internal pressures may build to the
point where internal O-rings are compromised. This could result in water
damage to the Diver Modem.
