Seal the Chip Case using Chip Sealant:
a.
Hold the syringe tip just above (or in slight contact with the inside wall) of
the fill port of the sealed Chip Case, then carefully fill the port with Chip
Sealant, ensuring that the fluid touches the walls of the port. To ensure the
seal, create a dome of sealant over the top of the port.
IMPORTANT! When applying the Chip Sealant:
·
Apply the Chip Sealant only to the fill port. Do not apply the sealant to
the Chip ID or Chip Case Lid window.
·
When not in use, store the Chip Sealant with the syringe tip attached tip-
first inside the brown plastic bag provided to prevent the sealant in the
syringe from curing.
