The MudChecker contains a high capacity, rechargeable, Lithium-
based battery. While the MudChecker unit is splash proof it should
not be submerged in water or any other liquid as this could cause the
battery to explode. Water will also cause failure of the electronics.
• The MudChecker must not be exposed to temperatures higher than
40°C (104°F) for prolonged periods as this can cause failure to oper
-
ate correctly and failure of the battery, especially during charging.
Charging at these temperatures is inhibited by the firmware. It is
recommended that the unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight
for long periods of time. If required to operate above this temperature
please contact OFITE for advice.
•
Do not place the unit near a heat source (e.g. engine exhaust, radia
-
tor) or expose it to direct flame or heat, or leave it in the glove box or
trunk of a vehicle for prolonged periods of time.
•
Do not use substances containing alcohol, Benzene, thinners or other
solvents to clean the body of the equipment as this might damage the
sealing and reduce the splash resistance.
•
Keep the body of the unit, its probe, and the connector sockets clean
and dry.
•
Dropping or subjecting the unit or probe to large shock could cause
damage that will prevent correct and accurate operation. If this does
occur, please contact OFITE.
• At lower temperatures, the internal battery will become discharged
sooner.
