10 Maintenance
• The calibration instrument has been designed with the utmost care. Ease
of operation and simplicity of maintenance have been a central theme in
the product development. Therefore, with proper care the instrument
should require very little maintenance. Avoid operating the instrument in
oily, wet, dirty, or dusty environments.
• If the outside of the instrument becomes soiled, it may be wiped clean
with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals on the
surface, which may damage the LCD or the plastic front panel.
• If a hazardous material is spilt on or inside the equipment, the user is re-
sponsible for taking the appropriate decontamination steps as outlined by
the national safety council with respect to the material.
• Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those rec-
ommended by Hart, users should check with an Authorized Service Cen-
ter (see Section 1.3) to be sure that the proposed method will not damage
the equipment.
• If the AC adapter becomes damaged, have it replaced immediately. Never
disassemble the AC adapter or attempt to repair it.
• If the instrument is used in a manner not in accordance with the equip-
ment design, the operation of the thermometer readout may be impaired
or safety hazards may arise.
• Periodic calibration of the instrument at regular intervals is required to en-
sure that it continues to measure with proper accuracy. Calibration should
only be performed by qualified authorized personnel.
