Maintenance
General
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and
detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents. Clean and
dry as required. If the MediaChecker will remain unused
for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent
damage from leakage.
Replacing Batteries
Two 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries power the MediaChecker
and typically provide 50 hours of operation. Using the
backlight may significantly reduce battery life. Figure 5
shows how to replace the batteries.
Determining the Software Version
The version number of your MediaChecker’s software
appears briefly on the display when you turn on the
MediaChecker. To hold the version number on the
display, hold down
A
while turning on the
MediaChecker.
