Safety, Care and Maintenance  

6.1

 

General Maintenance 

  Always keep the instrument in its pouch when not in use. 

Ensure the instrument is correctly inserted in the pouch 
with the display to the front.  

  The humidity sensor is fragile and should never be 

touched. Do not use compressed air to clean the sensors 
or the instrument. 

Screen care 

  Be careful not to scratch the LCD screen or break the 

glass screen.  

  Do not subject the DewCheck4 to a strong impact or 

extreme temperatures. If a Liquid Chrystal Display is 
heated above 50°C (120°F) it may be damaged. This can 
happen if it is left in a car parked in strong sunlight. 

  We suggest cleaning the instrument with a soft, dry cloth 

such as those made to clean eyeglasses. Do not use 
solvents! 

Cleaning the plastic housing 

  Clean the plastic housing only with isopropyl alcohol 

(rubbing alcohol) and a soft dry cloth.  

Cables and ports 

  Never force a connector into a port if the connector and 

port do not easily join. Make sure the connector matches 
the port and that it is properly aligned and undamaged 
before you attach it.  

Heat, moisture, dust 

  Keep the instrument away from extreme heat. Do not 

leave it on the dashboard, in the boot of a car, or near a 
heater. Heat can damage the screen, the plastic housing 
and internal components.
