10 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

1 0 . 1 M a i n t e n a n c e

The only routine and periodic maintenance for the processor is physical cleaning and performance testing.

10.1.1CLEANING

Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis as required, using a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or dirt. Remove any dirt from the air intake holes on the side and top of the chassis. Remove any dirt accumulated on the ventilation fan grille.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the exterior finishes or internal circuitry do not use any liquid, cleaning solvents, or abrasives.

While the interval between cleanings will depend on the frequency of usage and the conditions of use, it is recommended that cleaning be performed at least once a year. Clean more often if used in dusty or dirty conditions, such as part of a portable or touring system.

10.1.2 PERFORMANCE TESTING

Perform listening tests and/or formal measurements, checking all processor functions for proper operation.

While the interval between testing will depend on the frequency of usage and the conditions of use, it is recommended that should be performed at least once every six months. Test more often if used in conditions that subject the unit to mechanical stress, such as part of a portable or touring system.
