MAINTENANCE AND CARE

STORAGE

- It is recommended for protection of the FireFly Detector that you always

store it and its accessories in the carrying bag provided. If a prolonged period of
storage is anticipated (six or more months), remove the batteries. Remember to
replace the batteries prior to using the FireFly Detector again.

CLEANLINESS

- The aluminum outer housing is very rugged, but it should be kept

clean and free of dirt, grease and any other foreign materials. The inner plastic housing
should also be kept clean and dry. If either housing surface integrity has been
compromised in any way, return the FireFly Detector to the factory for repair or
replacement. Do not use.

DAMAGE

- If you suspect any mechanical or electrical damage, do not use the

FireFly Detector and arrange for repair by returning to the factory.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

- See Battery Replacement section (page 8)

for additional information.

CALIBRATION & TESTING

- It is recommended that every twelve months the

FireFly Detector is sent in for testing, cleaning and inspection. We recommend
this to be done at a factory trained repair facility, the HD Electric Company factory,
or other qualified location.

Minimal maintenance is required for the FireFly Detector. The carrying bag that is supplied
with the unit is recommended for storage of the FireFly Detector when it is not in use.
