Audio Note IO I - Manual (Page 12)

Cleaning
The IO I requires no special maintenance or cleaning. Under
no circumstances should any liquid or solvent-based cleaning
solutions be applied to the diamond or cantilever. Build up of
dust of fluff can be gently blown away, and only in very extreme
circumstances should a small, soft artist’s brush be used to
clean the diamond of cantilever, moving the brush, slowly,
gently and extremely carefully from back to front, never in the
opposite direction or from side to side.
Cartridge Life
The operational life of a cartridge can be affected by a variety
of factors, such as frequency of use, ambient temperature,
humidity, quality of vinyl being played etc. Our approximate
estimates for the lifespan of the IO I is within the region of 1000
to 3000 hours, depending on and not limited to the factors
mentioned above.
