The unit requires cleaning and checking at least once a year and more often if operating in a
dusty environment. No other scheduled maintenance is required.
WARNING:

1.
Power off the system. Unplug all cables connected to the system.
2.

a mild, liquid detergent like a common household cleaner. Do not use solvents or
strong, abrasive cleaners on any part of the system.

When servicing the inside of the system, remove dust and other foreign particles from the
inside of the system unit as follows.
1.
Remove the top cover using the disassembly and reassembly procedures later in
this section.
2.
Dust or vacuum (with a rubber-tipped nozzle) the inside of the system unit. Use
care to avoid damaging or dislodging any components and cables.
3.

erly before replacing the cover.
