Unauthorized disassembly will void your warranty. 13.1 Taking care of a Tron TR30 The lifetime of any equipment depends on how well you take care of it. The Tron TR30 is constructed to endure in a rough maritime environment. Regular inspection is important to detect error symptoms and prevent potentially serious problems. Recommended inspection tips: • Clean the radio (externally) in fresh water only if it has been immersed in sea water. Ensure that the antenna and jack cover are assembled correctly, if not the radio is not waterproof. • Inspect the battery connection pins, the gasket and the lock/release device regularly . • Inspect the housing for defects regularly. This is important as defects can affect water sealing. Page - 69 - 13.2 Regular testing It is important to perform regular testing of equipment to ensure proper operation, such that you know it is in good working order in case of a potential distress situation. Testing is completed by using the emergency test mode functionality within the radio. To activate or deactivate the emergency test mode, do the following: 1. Select Emergency test from the menu. 2. Select ON 3. Select SAVE 4. Exit the menu to enable the mode 5. Select OFF 6. Select SAVE 7. Exit the menu to disable the mode Testing should occur monthly if the radio is used regularly and at least once yearly when stored on a lifeboat or raft. Ensure you have an extra test battery available for use during testing to avoid using a sealed lithium battery. When testing the GMDSS radio, use the test battery included in your purchase. When testing the combined GMDSS and VHF Maritime radio, use the rechargeable battery included in your purchase.
