General Transmitter Care Instructions
 Periodically clean the spring and threads inside the
battery compartment as well as the spring and threads of
the battery cap to ensure a proper power connection with
the batteries. An emery cloth or wire brush can be used
to remove any oxidation that has built up. Be careful not
to damage the battery cap O-ring; remove it while
cleaning if necessary. After cleaning, use a conductive
lubricant on the battery cap threads to keep the battery
cap from binding in the battery compartment and
maintain ground connection.
 Before use, inspect the battery cap O-ring for damage
that may allow water to enter the battery compartment.
Replace the 2-022 Buna-N70 type O-ring if the one
installed becomes damaged.
 Placing tape around the fiberglass tube of the transmitter,
if space allows, will keep the fiberglass protected from
most corrosive environmental wear.
 Send in the Product Registration Card for the 90-day
limited warranty.
