Maintenance And Storage - Sea & Sea YS-01 Instruction Manual

Maintenance and Storage

CAUTION
Never use chemicals, cosmetics, any petroleum solvents such as
paint thinner, or neutral detergent on the product. They may deform
and damage the product.
After each use in salt water,
make sure the battery and
connector caps are attached,
then in a watertight condition
soak it sufficiently in fresh water.
Insufficient soaking causes
damage by salt to the product.
Salty residue may be left on the product where it will crystallize as
it evaporates. Crystallized salt is hard to dissolve and difficult to be
removed once formed, and it will result in water leakage.
After rinsing, dry the product well with a soft dry cloth, then let the
product dry in the shade, out of direct sunlight.
Do not dry the product by heating (using a hair dryer, for example).
Heating can deform and damage the product.
If you will not use the product for an extended period of time, store
it away from high temperatures, high humidity, direct sunlight, or
exterme cold.
Do not store the product with naphthalene or camphor mothballs,
or in locations such as a laboratory where chemicals are used.
This environment can cause mold, rust, corrosion or malfunction.
Always remove batteries from the product after use.
After using the product, maintain the O-rings before storing.
Examine the O-rings before and after each dive. We recommend
early exchange of the O-rings, at least once a year.
Every two years we recommend a complete overhaul of O-rings
regardless of the frequency in use, for the best performance of the
product.
If you do not use the product for an extended period of time, periodic
maintenance will keep internal electronic parts from deterioration.
Once a month, install batteries and fire a test flash. While the Ready
lamp is red (strobe is ready to fire), set the mode switch to [OFF],
then remove the batteries. In addition, operate all other switches as
you would in normal operation.
