DISPOSING AND CARE OF THE UNIT
This unit has
WEATHER STATION TEMPERATURE HUMIDITY ALARM
CLOCK RECORDER
functions.
Even if the unit is operating normally, replace the battery at least once every
two years. A dead battery can leak causing damage to and malfunction of the
unit. Never leave a dead battery into the unit.
The battery that comes with this unit discharges slightly during shipment
and storage. Because of this, it may require replacement sooner than the
normal expected battery life. Low battery power can cause memory contents
to become corrupted or lost completely. Avoid use and storage in areas
subjected to temperature extremes. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do
not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)
batteries.
If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, such as a month or
longer, remove the batteries to prevent possible corrosion. Should the
battery compartment become corroded or dirty, clean the compartment
thoroughly and replace the batteries. Very low temperatures can cause slow
display response, total failure of the display, and shortening of battery life.
Also avoid leaving the unit in direct sunlight near a window near a heater
or anywhere else it might be exposed to very high temperatures. Heat can
cause discoloration or deformation of the unit's case, and damage to internal
circuitry.
Take care never to leave the unit where it might be splashed by water or
exposed to large amounts of humidity or dust. Such conditions can damage
internal circuitry.
Place the unit on a stable surface, away from sources of direct sunlight or
excessive heat or moisture. Protect your furniture when placing the unit on
a natural wood and lacquered
fi
nish by using a cloth or protective material
between it and the furniture. Never drop the unit or otherwise subject it to
strong impact. Never twist or bend the unit. Never try to take the unit apart.
Never press the keys of the unit with a ballpoint pen or other pointed object.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit.
If the unit becomes very dirty, wipe it off with a cloth moistened in a weak
solution of water and a mild neutral household detergent. Wring out all
excess moisture before wiping the unit. Never use thinner, benzene or other
volatile agents to clean the unit. Doing so can remove printed markings and
can damage the case.
