CARE AND SERVICE
CARE
VPX-WR's hard anodized case resists scratches and corrosion. It is made from an
aluminum alloy; therefore, prolonged exposure to acids or bases may alter the finish. If
you find yourself working in damp areas or the instrument is exposed to chemical agents
that corrode, make sure that you wipe it clean with a soft cloth and window cleaner. Be
very gentle around the front of the instrument so that the sensor is not damaged.
Periodically, use silicone grease on the case to bring back its original luster.
Battery Information:
The VPX-WR is powered by a unique NiMH battery pack. It is conditioned through a
voltage regulator which
means the instrument’s performance will not degrade as the
battery life decreases. The power indicator will flash when there is approximately 1 hour
of use remaining. At the end of the battery charge the battery supervisor will shut the
instrument down. This may happen during the detection of a leak, which will require more
power to be delivered to the headset thus causing the instrument to cycle ON-OFF until it
is completely discharged. When this cycling condition occurs recharge it.
A fully charged battery should allow 10 to 12 hours of uninterrupted use, and it will take
approximately 16 hours to fully charge. The battery pack should give you at least two
years of service when the VPX-WR is used daily as above. If you feel the battery charge
does not last as long as it used to, please contact Superior Signal for service.
NOTE:
The VPX-WR Battery Pack is a sealed unit inside the instrument. Do NOT try to open the
instrument to change the pack yourself. Doing so may damage the instrument beyond
repair and it will void your warranty.
SERVICE
If you need service, please call Superior Signal Company and request an RMA
number and instructions to return the instrument.
