There may be a risk of corrosion if there is no silica gel to
keep the humidity low. Corrosion may cause power loss or
failure of electronic components which may lead to data loss.
Storage
Before you store your PODs:
▪
Remove all batteries.
▪
Clean off all barnacles and other marine encrustations.
▪
Wash the outside of the POD housing and any mooring lines using
fresh water.
Protect the PODs from direct sunlight, which causes slow deterioration of
the housing, O-rings and any mooring lines.
If you are storing PODs in a dry place, leave them open.
If you are storing PODs in a damp place, store them closed, with active
silica gel packs inside.
