Care and Maintenance

This section includes the recommended care and maintenance procedures
for the UDB-9000 Universal Deck Box. Adherence to these
recommendations will help to ensure years of continuous, reliable
performance. The care and maintenance of the UDB-9000 encompasses
general cleaning and inspection of the deck box, the transducer and its cable,
and replacing the batteries for the portable configuration of the deck box. In
addition, a procedure is provided for calibrating the touch screen display.

Deck Box Cleaning and Inspection

The only required maintenance for the deck box, both the portable and rack
mount configurations, is to occasionally clean the front panel, including the
touch screen display, with a dampened, lint-free cloth or paper towel. In
addition, for the portable configuration only, check the two vent ports for any
obstructions and verify that the front panel screws are secure.

Transducer Cleaning and Inspection

After retrieving the transducer, clean and inspect it as follows:
1. Unplug the transducer cable from the transducer. Inspect and clean the
cable.
2. Lubricate the transducer connector pins with a light coat of silicone
lubricant, and then install the supplied dummy connector.
NOTE Be especially careful not to get any lubricant on the face of the
transducer as this will severely degrade its performance.
3. Wash down the transducer with clean, fresh water and remove any
debris that may have become attached to the housing.
4. Clean the transducer with a mild, non-abrasive detergent, being careful
to remove any buildup. Do not use an ammonia-based cleaner such as
glass cleaner. Wash the transducer again with fresh water.
5. Carefully inspect the transducer for any signs of damage.
