Q & A on the use of the UFL-1
Q1: What cautions must be observed when taking off the battery cap?
A1: Pay attention to the following points:
1
Take the cap off in a place where it is safe from spray and the
scattering of sand.
2 Wipe off all water drops in the gap between the battery cap and the
body, and any place that is uneven. As when taking off the cap water
drops may run inside.
3 Make sure there is no rubbish, hair or other foreign matter sticking
to the O-ring and O-ring contact surface (battery cap side).
4 Before returning the battery cap, make sure the O-ring is correctly
aligned with the O-ring groove.
5 Gently turn the battery cap. If it is turned too quick the O-ring may get
caught or not align correctly with the groove and may result in leakage.
