Maintenance 
 
1. Changing the batteries 
If the battery symbol appears in the display, the batteries must be changed. The 
four button cells are accessible after opening the battery compartment at the rear 
of the unit. The used batteries must be removed from the battery holders and 
replaced by new button cells of the same type. Only LR44 type batteries may be 
used. Care must be taken to ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting. 
The plus terminal of all four batteries should point upwards. The batteries must 
be checked to see that they are properly seated before closing the battery 
compartment. 
 
2. Cleaning 
Clean the unit using only a dry cloth. If the unit is very dirty, the cloth may be 
slightly dampened. Do not use cleaners containing solvents. Make sure that no 
moisture enters the interior of the unit. When cleaning the lens, loose particles 
must be removed using compressed air. Any remaining dirt can then be 
removed with a soft brush or with a cotton swab moistened with water. 
 
CAUTION Do not use cleaners containing solvents.
