3.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE - Continued

WARNING

Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and toxic. To avoid

injury, keep away from open fire and use in a well

ventilated area.

MIPIM Housing

Inspect the housing for any signs of damage including

cracks, missing parts, and any other visible defects. Rinse

thoroughly with water or mild soap and water, then dry with a

wiping rag. If necessary, clean around buttons, switches,

adjusters, and attachment points using fresh water and a

cotton swab.

Battery Compartment / Cap

Inspect the battery compartment for dirt, dust, or corrosion.

Dirt or debris that cannot be shaken loose from the battery

compartment may be removed using a cotton swab. Clean

the threaded portions of the battery cap and battery

compartment using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl

alcohol. If necessary, clean battery contacts with a pencil

eraser or cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.

Periodically lubricate the battery cap o-ring with fluorinated

grease. Replace the o-ring if it becomes cut, nicked, or dried

out (see section 3.3).

Batteries

Inspect batteries for cracks, dents, leakage, or bulging. If a

battery shows signs of damage, remove and dispose of

properly. Replace as required.
