Maintenance

Cleaning

CAUTION

Harsh or abrasive detergents and some solvents can damage the display unit and information on labels.

Clean the antenna tester and the display with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water only.

Calibration

For best performance and accuracy, the Antenna Tester should be calibrated once every 12 months. Return the unit to an authorized Bird Service Center.

Charging Batteries

Fully charged batteries will provide a minimum of 2 hours continuous operation with the backlight on. Charging time is typically 8 hours. The batteries are being charged when the Antenna Tester is connected to AC, with the AC mains adapter, or DC, with the automobile cigarette lighter adapter. The unit does not have to be on to charge the batteries.

NOTE: For optimum battery life, charge the batteries only after the low battery indication is displayed.
