A moisture sensitive color-changing desiccant pack is included in the main hull and is
visible through the rear dome. In dry conditions, this desiccant pack is blue. If moisture
is present, the desiccant pack will turn pink. If the desiccant pack is pink, the system
should not be used until the moisture is removed and the cause of the moisture
determined and corrected. See Section 8.8 on the main housing.

8.3.1 PRECAUTIONS

DISCONNECT THE SYSTEM POWER AND VEHICLE TETHER BEFORE
COMMENCING ANY MAINTENANCE AND/OR REPAIRS!
1. If you are unfamiliar with O-Ring seals, read Section 8.4 "Caring For O-Rings" before
attempting to open any sealed compartment or replace any O-Rings.
2. Sealed components are designed to be tight fitting. Be gentle when opening them.
Forcing a component open or closed may damage it permanently. Do not use metal
tools to pry open sealed parts!
