Insert Battery
1.
Remove the O-ring from the groove in the battery cup if it hasn’t already
been removed.
2.
Slide the wire-free end of the new battery into the battery cup. The
connector wires should stick out the battery cup.
3.
Thread the connector wires through the O-ring.
4.
Press on the battery until the end of the battery is below the O-ring
groove.
5.
Squeeze the O-ring into an oval shape and push it into the groove in the
battery cup as shown in the photo.
Do not grease this O-ring.
6.
Make sure the connector wires are not pinched in any way, especially between the
O-ring and the battery or case. Pinched wires can break internally and disrupt power
to the receiver.
7.
Connect the Tadiran TL-5930/F battery to the VR2 connector in the proper orientation.
The two connector halves should lock together with a little click.
5.1.4
Close VR2 Case
Before deploying or storing a VR2 receiver, the case must be properly closed and sealed to prevent damage to
the electronics. Even humidity in the air can, over time, cause damage to the electronics so it’s very
important to keep the case sealed, with a functioning desiccant pack inside. Important information about
storing a VR2 is found in section 5.4.
1.
Position the battery wire so it’s away from the end of
the battery cup.
2.
Hold the receiver’s inner casing so the hydrophone is
pointing down.
3.
Place a new desiccant pack on top of the battery compartment and fold the ends of
the pack over onto itself.
4.
Fold the battery wires over so they are lying on top of the desiccant pack. This is
important to protect the wires from being pinched inside the tube.
5.
Slide the cylinder down over the inner casing until the first threads are inside the
outer cylinder.
A desiccant pack has been included in the bottom of the VR2 to
reduce the occurrence of condensation in the VR2. This pack
should remain in the receiver case during storage and deployment.
We recommend that you replace the desiccant pack with each
deployment and with each battery replacement cycle.
More information on the availability and usage of these packs is
