5.6 Care
Immediately clean all spilled materials from the Instrument and wipe dry. If the
spillage is corrosive, use a suitable cleaner to neutralize the corrosive action.
Whenever the Instrument is not in use, rotate the function switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
Whenever possible, avoid prolonged exposure or usage in areas which are sub-
ject to temperature and humidity extremes, vibration or mechanical shock, dust or
corrosive fumes, or strong electrical or electromagnetic interferences.
Verify Instrument accuracy by performing operational checks using known, accu-
rate, stable sources. If proper calibration equipment is not available, contact the
nearest Authorized Service Center. If the Instrument has not been used for 30
days, check the batteries for leakage and replace if necessary.
It is recommended that the Instrument be returned annually to the nearest Autho-
rized Service Center, or to the factory, for an overall check, adjustment, and cali-
bration.
When the Instrument is not in use, store it in a room free from temperature ex-
tremes, dust, corrosive fumes, and mechanical vibration or shock. If storage time
is expected to exceed 30 days, remove batteries.
