PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Please follow the following preventive steps to ensure the proper operation of your instrument.
Never place heavy objects on the instrument.
Never place a hot soldering iron on or near the instrument.
Never insert wires, pins, or other metal objects into ventilation fan.
Never move or pull the instrument with power cord or output lead. More importantly, never
move instrument when power cord or output lead is connected.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes in the rear panel as this will increase the internal
temperature.
Do not operate the instrument with the cover removed unless you are a qualified service
technician.
Clean and check the calibration of the instrument on a regular basis to keep the instrument
looking nice and working well.
Remove any dirt, dust, and grime whenever they become noticeable on the outside cover with
a soft cloth, moistened with a mild cleaning solution.
