Clean the Gill Radiation Shield by removing the two Phillips screws
holding it to the sensor arm. Gently pull the sensor out of the shield.
Clean the gill shield using warm mildly soapy water. Rinse with
clean water and allow the shield to dry before putting it back on the
sensor arm.

If necessary clean the white filter element on the end of the
temp/RH sensor. To clean the filter, unscrew it from off the end of
the sensor and put it in a cup of CLEAN DISTILLED WATER. Use
no soap. Agitate the filter in the cup of water. Remove the filter and
allow to air dry before putting it back on the end of the sensor.
