8 Care and Calibration
Cleaning
Clean the instrument with a damp, soft cloth. If a detergent must be
used, use only types that are made for use on plastics. Special
care must be taken when cleaning the LCD lens. This plastic can
become scratched making it difficult to view the display.
Storage
When storing for more than 15 days the batteries should be
removed to prevent excessive discharge. Batteries that are
completely discharged may leak corrosive fluids that can damage
the instrument’s electrical components. This type of damage is not
covered under the product warranty.
The instrument is shipped with plastic insulators over the battery
contacts to prevent battery drain during shipping. These can be
saved and reused to prevent battery discharge during storage.
Batteries
The instrument can be run from alkaline, NiMH, or NiCd batteries.
Alkaline batteries have a long shelf life but are especially prone to
leakage when completely discharged. Never leave alkaline
batteries in the instrument for prolonged periods without using the
plastic insulator to break the electrical connection.
NiMH batteries normally loose their charge during storage at a rate
of about 2% per day. This means that after one month a fully
charged set of NiMH batteries will only have 40% of their capacity
remaining.
Calibration
SIGNALTEK does not require calibration and does not contain any
user-serviceable or adjustable components. All service and repair
