16.1 Routine checks and maintenance:
Lubricate the cap a couple of times per season with a few drops of silicone-based
lubricant to ensure total impermeability. Screw the cap until you hear a clicking
sound. It is important that it stays clean from mud and dust.
16.2 It is important to maintain the cap and spring contacts clean from mud and dust.
We recommend periodic cleaning with a toothbrush.
16.3 Never use products containing solvents because they react with the plastic and
get inside the scroll-wheels. Wash only with soap and water.
16.4 Speaker:
Attention! Do not press on the diaphragm of the speaker-wire as it could damage the
mechanism that produces the sound. In the case where the Beeper emits a shrill or
ringing sound it means that the metal membrane has been damaged. With normal use,
however, infrequent impacts could damage the speaker.
16.5 Maximum volume:
The covering with soft plastic creates a sounding board. The speaker must be
positioned downwards to allow drainage. Replace the cap of the speaker when it is
worn or loose. A worn or damaged cap is the primary cause of a decrease in volume.
A periodic inspection and replacement of the cap of the speaker should be regarded as
routine maintenance.
16.6 Storage:
During the hunting season keep the Beeper in a warm and dry place, remove the cap
of the battery compartment and let it dry after each use. Condense will be formed
within the compartment regardless of the impermeability of the Beeper. Do not dry it
with any possible sources of heat (e.g. radiator).
17.!Warnings!
Do not place the speaker close to your ears! This equipment has been tested and if
used correctly, is not harmful to your dog.!
