6 Miscellaneous
6.1 Landing on Water
If you are forced to land on water, water can enter the instrument. However, there is a
chance to save the instrument or at least parts of it. Once water has entered the GPS
module it is definitely lost.
To save other parts proceed as follows:
a) Open the instrument at once.
b) Pull off the red Jumper lead next to the
beeper connection cable. This separates
the circuit from the power supply (see
picture).
c) If the landing was on salt water – rinse the
circuit board and all areas affected, with
clean, fresh water. Dry the instrument
carefully with warm air. (Hair dryer)
d) It is also recommended that the flat key-
pad cable is removed.
e) Return the instrument to FLYTEC for readjustment and a final check.
The guarantee is void after a Water Landing.
6.2 Guarantee and liability
Our instruments carry a 24-month guarantee. However, physical damage such as a broken
casing or glass breakage as well as damage resulting from water landings are excluded from
this guarantee. Flytec can accept no liability for faults arising from any abuse or unapproved
use of your instruments.
WARNING
In very rare cases it can happen that a flight instrument does not provide any data at all or
the data is incorrect. FLYTEC AG will not be held responsible for accepting any damage
claims arising from a malfunctioning unit. Responsibility for ensuring the safe execution of
his/her flights lies with the pilot alone.
