Diver Recall System

Introduction
Congratulations, you have purchased the finest Diver Recall System on
the market. Please take time to read this entire manual carefully so that
ease of use and trouble free operation is achieved. It is recommended
that this manual stay with the unit at all times so that all operators can
familiarize themselves with the Divelink Diver Recall System.
The Diver Recall System is an easy to use system consisting of state of
the art electronics. The unit is capable of projecting sound as far as
1500 meters through the water under ideal conditions.
Product Description
Surface Unit
The diver recall surface unit is the main component of the system. It has
a straightforward user interface (Operator’s Panel) and a durable
watertight case to protect the sophisticated electronics. It is powered by
a high quality, internal and rechargeable sealed lead acid battery. The
system is designed to be portable and able to be used anywhere at any
time. Included with the system is a powerful underwater loudspeaker
and hand held microphone for voice transmission.
Warning: This device can emit very loud sound transmissions
underwater. It is important to understand the proximity of divers to
the Underwater Loudspeaker before sending full volume voice/siren
sounds. If a diver is in the immediate vicinity of the Underwater
Loudspeaker during a full volume transmission, it can startle the diver
and/or increase stress level, which is contrary to dive training and
safety procedures.
