5.
Insert the other steel rod into the hole in the Probe Hole on the end-cap
of the receiver and hold on to the rod – it will slide right through the hole
and potentially damage something below. Make sure the rod is fully
inserted into the hole or damage may occur to the Probe Hole.
6.
Apply pressure to the rod in the Probe Hole to turn it in a counter-
clockwise direction when you are facing the hydrophone. The rod at the
back of the receiver acts as a brace while you apply pressure, but be
careful of it “jumping” off the flat surface.
7.
Unscrew the hydrophone end from the main body.
8.
Remove the steel rods from the VR2 case and set them aside.
9.
Slide the end-cap and cylinder apart until the battery compartment has cleared
the cylinder. Be very careful not to damage the threads on the end-cap or the
VR2 won’t close and seal properly.
5.1.2
Remove Battery
1.
Press the release lever on the battery connector and pull the connector apart. A
small and a small flat screw driver may help release the lever.
2.
Press the back of the battery towards the body of the VR2 until the battery is not
pressing against the O-ring. There is a spring at the other end of the battery cup
so the battery will move.
3.
Slip the O-ring from its groove as shown in the photo. The O-ring’s purpose is to
hold the battery from sliding out the end of the battery cup.
4.
Slide the O-ring along the battery’s connector wires so they are separated from
each other.
5.
Remove the battery.
DO NOT impact the threads on the end-cap or they will dent
and prevent the VR2 case from closing. See section 8.2.1
for tips on thread care.
