2.9. Do not use the Dockmate when the remote or Receiver have been immersed in water. The
units may be damaged beyond repair. Test both devices with the boat in a safe
environment before use.
Contact your Dockmate dealer when any abnormality is detected.
2.10. Make sure you can operate the Dockmate like an expert before actually using it in a
crowded harbour.
2.11. In very exceptional circumstances, the communication between the remote and Receiver
can be disturbed by radio frequency remotes in the immediate neighborhood.
2.12. Never use the Dockmate if you are not on the ship. Remember that the use of the
Dockmate from ashore or the jetty is a criminal offense in several countries.
2.13. Batteries should be charged as soon as the stat LED on the remote lights up yellow.
2.14. Please note that when the system is in operation each involuntary push on the buttons of
the remote has an action as a result.
2.15. It’s a good habit to briefly test your Dockmate when you first turn it on, before untying your
ropes, lifting the anchor, or heading into the marina or port. Just like it’s a good habit to test
your boat’s engine and thruster controls (and other systems) before heading out on the
water.
