Gates EM43 External Color Monitor
Setup and Use
Before You Begin
Every Gates housing is pressure tested before leaving the factory to assure a watertight seal. The EM43 is shipped with batteries installed and is ready to use. Rough or abusive handling during shipment however, could have caused unnoticed damage after leaving the factory. Please carefully inspect the contents of the package and the EM43 for any sign of damage during shipment. If damage is suspected, contact Gates directly for further action.
