ScanFish Ill Flight software experiences a communications failure with the scanFish Ill it will generate an alert At the same time the ScanFish III will enter into System Failure mode and begin ascent to the surface powered by either the scanFish III Power amp communications or the internal battery Recover the ScanFish Ill immediately Allow the ScanFish III to charge for two to three hours before the next pre flight check and deployment Important During this charging period the scanFish Ill must be turned on and submerged in water in order to prevent overheating e If the altimeter is blocked by an object hanging under the ScanFish eg an external sonar system the ScanFish III will assume that the seabed is rising with a predetermined slope This will result in the ScanFish IIl ascending slowly to the surface If the object is removed the ScanFish III will resume normal operation e Pre flight check deployment and operation of the ScanFish III with a discharged backup battery is possible but this is done so at your own risk and is not recommended A discharged backup battery will charge during the first two to three hours of normal operation but it is strongly recommended to charge the battery before use In case of a power failure with a discharged backup battery the ScanFish III will not ascend to the surface and may collide with the seabed EIVA ScanFish III manual 2 0 Last update 2 10 2014 Page 75 of 102 EIVA MARINE SU
