simply be removed and replaced. Also replacing the AA batteries
to assure that the clock setting is maintained is recommended.
Flash cards can either be swapped for new empty cards or, if time
allows, inserted into a laptop, transferred and then erased.
Resealing
The O-rings should be removed and the top cap thoroughly
cleaned, paying special attention to the O-ring area. The inner
diameter of the housing should also be well cleaned, again
particularly where the O-rings will contact the housing. The O-rings
themselves should be cleaned and then inspected for any damage,
it is best to be on the safe side and replace them when in
question. The desiccant pack is not reusable and should be
replaced for every deployment. Give the entire housing an
inspection to make sure there is no damage to the housing, the
attachment points or the hydrophone. Check to make sure the
hydrophone is still tight to the top cap, the metal of the
hydrophone connector should make contact with the surface of
the top cap. Next the O-rings should be lubricated and the unit
sealed as per previous instructions.
