Service and Maintenance
Before use
Check the PLB monthly, check the battery expiry date has not expired, run self-test
and examine for any signs of damage to the outer case.
After use (not activated)
Clean the outer case with fresh water, wipe dry and examine for any damage. Store in
a cool dry place until next needed. Self-test the PLB monthly.
CAUTION: Avoid using chemical solvents to clean the PLB as some solvents can
damage the case material.
After activation
The antenna must be re-wound (see below)
WARNING: The battery will be partly or fully run down and must be replaced.
Inadvertent antenna deployment
If the red anti-tamper seal is defeated, then the antenna will automatically deploy. Re-
winding of the antenna and fitting of a new anti-tamper seal can only be done by a
Kannad Marine authorized service station. For safe transportation, wrap the antenna
around the body of the PLB and fix in place with adhesive tape. Do not close or fold
the flip-up lid over the top of the deployed antenna as this may damage the antenna.
NOTE: Antenna re-winding will incur a service charge.
CAUTION: Never attempt to re coil the antenna
Service
Battery packs, flip cover and lanyard are user
replaceable. The main body of the PLB has no
user-serviceable parts. A list of Kannad marine
dealers and Service Agents is located on the
Kannad Marine web site, www.kannadmarine.com.
