Store unit at room temperature in a clean and dry area. Keep the unit out of
direct sunlight.

The FLS-110 contains no user-serviceable parts. However, the unit contains sensitive
electronic and optical components, and should be handled carefully and stored in its
carrying case when not in use.
Cleaning the Optical Port
To prevent dust and dirt from entering the connector, always replace the protective
cap on the optical port when not in use. Clean the optical port using a lint-free swab
dipped in isopropyl alcohol (98% pure or more) and blow-dry with compressed air.
In case the unit is equipped with a universal interface (option), rotate the connector
adapter counter-clockwise and remove it. You now have access to the ferrule inside
the connector interface. Clean and blow-dry as explained above. Then replace the
connector adapter and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.
Recharging the NiCd Battery Pack
The
LOW BAT
indication is displayed when the instrument switches from the
NiCd battery pack to the 9-V alkaline battery. To recharge the NiCd battery pack,
plug in the AC adapter/charger. A full recharge takes approximately 14 hours. For
maximum efficiency, recharge the battery at room temperature. To extend NiCd
battery life, deplete the battery’s charge completely before activating the AC
adapter/charger.
