For your own safety and trouble-free use of the

Ambient Sound Fish please carefully read the

instructions below. Always keep a copy of these instructions and hand them out with the unit to other

users.

This unit is intended for use in water. When all receptacles are connected correctly and locked tight, it is

sealed to be waterproof down to a depth of up to 100m. Anyway, always long-term test the sealing in

shallow water and replace damaged sealing gaskets before actual field usage. Always make sure that

the receptacles are kept dry and clean. It is recommended to use a small amount of silicone based

lubricant on the thread to ensure waterproofness. Note that the lubricant needs to be removed

thoroughly after each use. Switch off the Phantom Power before disconnecting the hydrophone

connector and dry the hydrophone (including connection) systematically.

Seawater is a very aggressive medium. Even though the ASF-1 MKII is only manufactured with materials

offering a good seawater resistance, the unit has to be cleaned immediately after use in sea or chlorine

water with plenty of fresh water to avoid irrevocable damage. Sea water could cause superficial

corrosion that might change the color of the housing. This is a natural process which won't damage the

unit nor affect the usability. If the corrosion is starting to dissolve the metal, stop using the ASF-1 MKII

immediately and check if the housing is connected to any ground.

(More info in "4. Powering")

Never use the hydrophone within acids or bases. Never bend the acoustic sensitive membrane in any

way. Keep out of hot environments and never expose to direct sunlight. Do not throw the hydrophone

or expose to mechanical impact. Do not expose to hard vibrations.

Operating ambient temperature: -5°C to +50°C (23°F to 122°F)

Temperature changes apply stress to crystals on the piezo. Just like an instrument, give it a minute to

acclimatize for best results. Especially when you go „fishing" in cold water.

Only use genuine accessories (such as cables) supplied by an authorized dealer. Always check integrity

and proper compatibility with all units connected to. Never open the unit. Inappropriate and

unauthorized access will void the warranty and imply possible risks of harm to the user.

Follow the legal requirements for recycling electronic equipment when disposing the unit
