firmware enhancements based on user’s feedback.

12.6. Storing the instrument
• To preserve the life of the internal batteries, it is recommended that the instrument is turned off when
it is stored. In case of alkaline batteries, it is recommended to extract them out of the instrument.
• Do not store the instrument permanently connected to the USB port. It shortens battery lifecycle.
• When the instrument is turned off, it still draws a small amount of battery power. Therefore,
it is recommended to charge the cell every few months if it is not going to be used regularly.
12.7. Transportation and carrying
For transportation or storage purpose, we recommend using the packaging provided by the manufacturer. In a
potentially dirty industrial environment it is advisable to use the carrying case provided by the manufacturer such
as the fabric material case (SA 47), lightweight case (SA 143) or waterproof case (SA 79), which ensures
excellent mechanical and environmental protection and long term storage conditions.
Clean the surface of the instrument with damp soft cloth.
The instrument sockets should be cleaned with the use of compressed air.
Note: In cases of larger dirt, such as oil or grease, contact your Local Authorized Distributor or
Svantek Service Office.
• In case your instrument does not respond proceed with hardware reset of the instrument (see chapter
12.4).
• In case the reset does not help call your Local Authorized Distributor or Svantek Service Office.
