Maintenance 

The Manufacturers or their agents overseas will provide a repair service for any unit developing a 
fault. Where owners wish to undertake their own maintenance work, this should only be done by 
skilled personnel in conjunction with the service guide which may be obtained directly from the 
Manufacturers or their agents overseas. 

Cleaning 

If the instrument requires cleaning use a cloth that is only lightly dampened with water or a mild 
detergent. 

WARNING! TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR DAMAGE TO THE INSTRUMENT, NEVER 
ALLOW WATER TO GET INSIDE THE CASE. TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE CASE NEVER 
CLEAN WITH SOLVENTS.
