Shearwater Research Issues Voluntary Recall Of Yellow Wireless Transmitters

Shearwater Research recently announced that the company voluntarily issued a recall notice for yellow wireless transmitters.

The company discovered yellow transmitters may have a similar transmission interval to the one found in grey transmitters. When a diver uses transmitters of both colors during the same dive, the transmitters could experience signal interference, resulting in dropped signals and communications loss.

Shearwater says:

“Although the chance of this occurring is small, the potential is there.”

The yellow transmitter is cylindrical, three inches/7.62cm long and marked with the letters “FCC ID: MH8A” along with a unique serial number. Shearwater Research sells it to dealers around the world under the “13009” part number.

If you happen to own a yellow transmitter, send Shearwater Research an email at info@shearwater.com or online at www.shearwater.com, or during business hours by telephone +1.604.669.9958 for more information on arranging repair or exchange of the transmitter.

Be aware that the grey transmitter version isn’t affected by the recall notice, nor are dive computers.
