Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning
Maintenance restricts to cleaning the instrument with a damp cloth, use mild detergent if
required. Do not use any solvents as they may be aggressive to the case material.
5.2. Sensor tip
The sensor tip may get contaminated over time, when a decay in sensitivity becomes apparent
soak it in absolute alcohol for a few minutes, then dry it carefully with compressed air. Again,
never use solvents; they may destroy the sensor tip. Always turn the instrument off before
removing the sensor tip!
5.3. Batteries
Always unload the batteries from the instrument when it is stored for extended periods of time.
Exhausted batteries may leak aggressive acid and damage the instrument.
