Cleaning
m Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the SB-80DX and clean it
with a soft, clean cloth. After using the SB-80DX near saltwater, wipe the
SB-80DX with a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with plain water to remove
salt, and then dry it using a dry cloth.
m On rare occasions, the LCD may turn on or turn dark, due to static electricity.
This is not a malfunction. The display will soon return to normal.
m Do not drop the SB-80DX or hit it against a hard surface, as this may damage
its precision mechanisms. Do not apply strong pressure to the LCD panel.
l
Storage
m Store the SB-80DX in a cool, dry place to prevent malfunctions due to high
humidity, as well as the growth of mold or mildew.
m Keep the SB-80DX away from chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene.
Avoid exposing the SB-80DX to magnetic waves from TVs or radios.
m Do not use or leave the SB-80DX in locations subject to high temperatures
such as those encountered near a heater or stove, as this may cause
damage.
m When not using the SB-80DX for more than two weeks, be sure to remove the
batteries before storage to prevent malfunctions due to battery leakage.
m Take the SB-80DX out about once a month, insert the batteries and fire the
unit several times to reform the capacitor.
m Change the desiccant occasionally since it does not absorb moisture
effectively after a while.
l
Operating location
m An extreme temperature change can cause condensation inside the
SB-80DX. When taking the SB-80DX to a very hot place from a very cold
place or vice versa, place it inside an airtight container such as plastic bag.
Leave it inside for a while, then expose the SB-80DX gradually to the outside
temperature.
m Avoid exposing the SB-80DX to strong magnetism or radio waves from TVs or
high-voltage power transmission towers, as this may cause it to malfunction.
