Figure 6 Location of Connector Care Information in Help
If flammable fluids are used to clean connectors, the fluid shall not be placed on the
instrument during use or when connected to mains voltage. Cleaning the
connectors shall take place in ventilated area to allow fluid vapors to dissipate, and
reduce the risk of fire.
Cleaning connectors with alcohol shall only be done with the instruments power
cord removed, and in a well-ventilated area. Allow all residual alcohol moisture to
evaporate, and the fumes to dissipate prior to energizing the instrument.
