12 Maintenance
This premium-quality multi function instrument is fitted with sensitive sensors which
necessitate a gentle handling of the instrument. Excessive pressure, as may be caused
by vehemently slamming the trunk lid of an automobile, must absolutely be avoided.
In the same way storage of the instrument in humid environment is to be avoided.
The optimal cleanup should be performed by use of a slightly humidified, soft drapery.
Optimal storage is ensured with the textile bag as was supplied along with the instrument.
Self-evidently this bag needs to be clean and dry. In case of malfunction it is necessary
to retrieve the accumulators for min. 1 minute from the instrument. As a result of this short time span
the instrument shall perform a self-test after re-installation of the accumulators.
If the malfunction continues to exist, please return the instrument with a short but complete
statement about the problem to your dealer or directly to FLYTEC AG.
12.1.1 Exposure to Water
If the instrument was immersed under water or was exposed to water ingress, the batteries
need to be removed immediately in order to prevent a destructive short-circuit.
In the case of salt water, rinse the instrument and all parts affected by the salt water with clean,
hand-hot soft water in order to avoid corrosion.
Thereafter dry the instrument carefully by blowing warm air of max. + 60 °C (hair dryer).
Never place the instrument into a microwave-stove! Microwaves shall destroy
the instrument immediately!
After complete drying please return imperatively the instrument to your dealer or directly to
FLYTEC AG for final check over.
Any claim under Warranty is void after a water landing.
