MAINTENANCE

The following suggestions will help you care for the
Barometer so you can enjoy it for years.

1. Keep the Barometer dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry

immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can
corrode the electronic circuits.

2. Use and store the Barometer only in normal

temperature environments. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

3. Handle the Barometer gently and carefully. Dropping

it can damage circuit boards and cause the Barometer
to work improperly.

4. Keep the Barometer away from dust and dirt, which

can cause premature wear of parts.

5. Wipe the Barometer with a damp cloth occasionally

to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
Barometer.

6. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.

Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic circuits.

7. Modifying or tampering with the Barometer's

internal components can cause a malfunction and
might invalidate its warranty.
