Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Your MOB1 will require little maintenance except periodic cleaning, if required. Always
use a damp cloth to clean the case and dry thoroughly. Do not use solvents or other
cleaning fluids as this may cause the plastics to deteriorate. Ensure the antenna is free to
unwind.

Batteries
The MOB1 contains Lithium metal batteries for long operating life. Your battery must be
replaced either prior to the expiry date or after the MOB1 has been used, even if only

Signal authorised battery replacement centre.
