:
The magnetron is a consumable item. The effectiveness of your magnetron will de-
crease over time, causing lower-than-normal signal strength and loss of echoes.
Magnetrons should be changed regularly. The table above shows the typical life-
span of a magnetron used under normal conditions.
*2
:
Lifetime of the motor varies greatly depending on usage environment. Regularly re-
quest the maintenance by a service technician. Even if there is no trouble or error,
it is recommended to replace the motor every five years.
