MAINTENANCE AND CARE
• Extreme temperatures, vibrations, and shock should be avoided to prevent
damage to the units.
• Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or
scouring agents—they may mark and damage the displays and casings.
• Do not submerge in water.
• Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and
damage. Replace with new batteries only, and of recommended size.
• Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the units.
