Clean the exterior housing with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not allow water
to enter the light chamber or any other parts of the meter. To clean the light
chamber and optics area, point a can of compressed air into the light chamber
and blow the pressurized air into the light chamber. Use a cotton swab
dampened with Windex ® window cleaner to gently swab the interior of the
chamber. Do not use alcohol; it will leave a thin residue over the optics when
dry.
