Maintaining Your P/SP-1500

Your P/SP-1500 requires no periodic maintenance and has no user serviceable parts inside. To avoid the risk of electric shock do not remove the top cover. Clean the chassis with a soft cloth moistened only with Windex or clear water. Never use solvents or abrasives.

Remove the two AA batteries from the remote control if you do not plan to use it for an extended period. Remove the battery cover annually to inspect and remove leaking batteries.
