Normal Maintenance
Quantum
The Quantum is a precision measurement device that contains many sensitive
components, and it should be handled with care. Take the following precautions
to prevent problems from developing with your system:
• Place a dust cover over the Quantum when not in use.
• Clean with a dry dust cloth. For heavy dirt buildup, use a very small amount
of warm water and gently clean the Quantum. Be very careful not to bend the
Quantum while cleaning.
• Check the cables for damage to outside insulation, connectors, and pins.
• DO NOT lubricate the Quantum.
