3.1| Operating the M105Digital
The M105 Digital was designed to be portable and easy to operate.
After you have properly installed the battery you are ready to set up your surface
station.
The M105 Digital is an ultrasonic digitized, through-water communication SYSTEM. It
must be operated using water as the transmitting medium. You will be able to talk to
all other divers and/or surface stations on the same frequency and within range. When
you speak ,your voice is sent out in an Omni directional pattern via the transducer to
all other transceivers. The transducer is the antenna which both sends out the signal
and picks up incoming signals.
The following is the recommended operating procedures
1 |
Ensure battery is
property installed, fetish and the front panel is installed
without pinching any wires.
2 |
Place the M105 Digital on a surface that is secure from boat action and where the
transducer cable will not trip anyone or be damaged.
3 |
Open the front cover of the M105 and connect the transducer cable to the front
panel . Switch on the unit. A short “beep” will be listened. If transducer cable is not
plugged in the unit it will not switch on. When not using the M105 Digital , disconnect
the transducer cable or switch off the unit. This will conserve battery power.
4 |
Lower the transducer into the water. If using a
boat, lower the transducer so it clears the hull. If the
base station is set up on a beach, the transducer
should be suspended from a float. Under no
circumstance should the transducer lay on the
bottom.
If you lay the transducer on the bottom, transmitting
and receiving signal strength will be reduced. The
result
will
be
no
range
and
weak
or
no
communications. If a current is running, you might
have to tie a weight to the transducers strength
member.
