CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

Avoid placing the units in areas prone to vibration and shock as these may cause damage.

Avoid areas where the units can be exposed to sudden changes in temperature, i.e. direct sunlight, extreme cold and wet/moist conditions as these will lead to rapid changes which reduce the accuracy of readings.

When cleaning the LCD and casing, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.

Do not submerge the units into water.

Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries of the recommended size.
