VEMCO – VR100 Receiver Operating Manual – Page 19
3.1.2.2 Using protective caps
The connector’s protective cap is used to prevent water from entering the connector and damaging the
connector and possibly the receiver. With the cap properly in place, the VR100 is extremely splash-
resistant.
To properly install a connector protective cap:
1.
Select the proper cap. The caps are in two sizes, small and large. The small caps are for the PC
communication connector and the headphone connector. The large caps are for the hydrophones and
the battery charger.
2.
Check that the O-ring on the cap is clean and undamaged. The O-ring is identified by the arrow in the
photo below and on the left.
3.
Insert the cap into the connector on the side of the VR100 case.
4.
Press the cap into the connector until the lip of the cap is in contact with the connector ring on the
VR100 case. This is shown in the photo below and on the right.
WARNING:
The
protective caps must be in place
on the receiver when a cable isn’t connected to the
bulkhead connectors. Water that comes in contact with exposed bulkhead connectors can damage
the receiver.
