8.2 Repair Maintenance

The transmitter body does not have user serviceable parts inside,

and is not designed to be opened. Opening the transmitter will void the
warranty.

CAUTION!

If there is a problem with your transmitter that you are unable to solve yourself or with the
help of Vaisala Helpdesk, contact a Vaisala Service Center. In case of mechanical or electrical
failure, the Service Center may replace the transmitter with a new one.
