XPA Gen3

Care and Maintenance

Periodic Maintenance

Your XPA Gen3 requires no periodic maintenance or calibration.

Cleaning your XPA Gen3

•  If necessary, the XPA Gen3 should be cleaned gently with a soft rag.
•  If something sticky gets on the front panel or case of the XPA Gen3, it should be cleaned with 

a mild cleaning solution applied to a soft rag, followed by wiping with a clean rag dampened 

with plain water and drying with a soft dry rag or cloth.

Note: DO NOT spray water or cleaning solution directly onto the XPA Gen3 or into  

the vents.
