Refit the screw securing the pod to the handle.
Note: Whilst refitting the speaker pod, care must be taken not to damage the seal
between the loudspeaker and ground balance/audio reset button to the pod
housing. Damaging this seal may allow water into either the loudspeaker or
switch.
•
If the plug and socket are dry, smear a small amount of silicon grease around
the shroud to ensure they will be waterproof. Plug the speaker pod plug into
the socket on the main wiring loom. Roll the speaker pod plug shroud back
over the socket. Push the upper half of the pod down towards the handle
until both halves of the pod are correctly mated. The plug/socket will go
down into the handle.
•
Invert the detector and lay speaker pod in a sensitivity endcap to protect
ground balance/audio reset button (or use other means to protect ground
balance/audio reset button). Refit the three screws which hold the pod
halves together.
• Refit sensitivity endcap and battery pack.
