Care & Maintenance
General Care
Follow these basic precautions to ensure that your analyzer will
perform well for years to come:
•
Do not push keys with sharp objects
•
Do not expose the unit to extreme heat, or leave in direct sunlight
for extended periods of time.
•
Do not leave the unit in contact with water or other fluids for
extended periods of time.
•
Do not immerse the unit in liquids.
•
Do not pull on the temperature probe cord.
•
Avoid rapidly heating or cooling the unit.
•
Store in a dry location near room temperature, away from direct
sunlight, in a vibration-free environment.
Replacing Batteries
The unit is designed for use with a 9V alkaline battery. Carefully
follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.
1.
Find a dry environment, preferably at room temperature or lower.
This will keep condensation from forming in the unit at a later
time. Air-conditioned rooms are ideal.
2.
Remove the rubber boot if installed by stretching it and shifting it
toward the front of the analyzer.
3.
Using a dry towel, clean exterior so it is free of dirt and fluids.
4.
Using Phillips screwdriver, remove the 5 screws and back cover.
5.
Remove old battery by pulling the middle of the contact terminal
with your fingers. Do not pry with metallic objects. Do not pull
on the wire.
6.
Each contact on the battery snap mates
against the opposite gender contact on
the battery. DO NOT connect the
battery in reverse.
