WARNING
Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and toxic. To avoid
injury, keep away from open fire and use in a well
ventilated area.
MIPIM Housing
Inspect the housing for any signs of damage including
cracks, missing parts, and any other visible defects. Rinse
thoroughly with water or mild soap and water, then dry with a
wiping rag. If necessary, clean around buttons, switches,
adjusters, and attachment points using fresh water and a
cotton swab.
Battery Compartment / Cap
Inspect the battery compartment for dirt, dust, or corrosion.
Dirt or debris that cannot be shaken loose from the battery
compartment may be removed using a cotton swab. Clean
the threaded portions of the battery cap and battery
compartment using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl
alcohol. If necessary, clean battery contacts with a pencil
eraser or cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.
Periodically lubricate the battery cap o-ring with fluorinated
grease. Replace the o-ring if it becomes cut, nicked, or dried
out (see section 3.3).
Batteries
Inspect batteries for cracks, dents, leakage, or bulging. If a
battery shows signs of damage, remove and dispose of
properly. Replace as required.
