 products are designed for rugged durability, but precision instruments demand proper care. Please 

take note the special care guidelines in this section. 

WARNING: 

DO NOT attempt to modify, dismantle or open the REDLINK™ Bridge, as doing so may expose you to 

electric shock and serious injury. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Alteration or repairs made to the 

REDLINK Bridge, except by a RED authorized service facility, will void the Limited Warranty.

CLEAN SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Clean ONLY using a dry cloth. When cleaning your REDLINK Bridge, remember that the components are not 

waterproof and moisture can damage electronic circuitry.

WARNING: 

DO NOT rinse or immerse any part of the REDLINK Bridge. Keep components dry at all times.

WARNING: 

DO NOT use soaps, detergents, ammonia, acetone, alkaline cleaners, abrasive cleaning compounds, 

or solvents. These substances may damage electronic circuitry.
