• Place a light amount of DC-111 lubricant on the end-cap
connector pins (rubber portion only). This will make it eas-
ier to connect or remove the I/O cable and dummy plug.
• Do not connect or disconnect the I/O cable with power ap-
plied. An exception to this is the external battery case. The
external battery case connector is always "hot" when batter-
ies are installed. When you connect the cable with power
applied, you may see a small spark. The connector pins
may become pitted and worn.
• The WorkHorse I/O cable is wet mate-able, not under water
mate-able.
• Align the compass whenever the battery pack or recorder
module is replaced, or when any ferrous metals are relocated
inside or around the WorkHorse housing. Ferro-magnetic
materials affect the compass.
• The AC power adapter is not designed to withstand water.
Use caution when using on decks in wet conditions.
• Avoid using ferro-magnetic materials in the mounting
fixtures or near the Workhorse. Ferro-magnetic materials
affect the compass.
