Usage Precautions • The Motion Sensor MS-100 compensates for ship’s pitching and rolling. However, it does not compensate for load unbalance. • If the equipment will not be used for a long time, shut off the power to it at the mains switchboard, to prevent battery discharge. • If the soundome is to be operated while the ship is dry-docked, set the transmitter output power to “minimum” (on the COM1 menu). Damage to the train-tilt section may result if it is operated with maximum transmit
