F-POD USER GUIDE 15
5. Adjust the screw in the top of the rod so that the dome of the screw is
just below the top of the connector. This means you will only have to
push the connector down approximately 7 mm to engage the head of
the screw. This ensures that the battery pack is held securely, but not
too tightly, as too much pressure could deform or damage the battery
casings.
The F-POD uses no power in this mode. It will not use battery power
until the POD is started.
Starting the F-POD
1. Fit the battery pack connector spring as shown above.
2. Use one of the 32 GB micro SD cards provided by Chelonia. If one is
not available, any blank micro SD card up 32 GB can be used.
3. Check that the SD card is blank. This ensures that you have the
maximum amount of space on the card.
If the SD card still has F-POD data on it, the POD will start,
but there is less space available for new data (see Multiple
deployment data on page 21).
4. Insert the SD card into the card holder in the POD. Push the card down
gently until it clicks into place. This switches on the POD.
Both LEDs light red while the POD starts up, then blue to indicate that
both battery stacks are OK. Then both LEDs flash green 5 times to
indicate that the POD has started running.
If one of the blue LEDs does not light, there is a problem
with a battery stack. The left LED off means the left battery
stack is faulty. The right LED off means the right battery
stack is faulty. Stop the POD and check the batteries.
