Cleaning the USN 52R/USN 52L

7.1Cleaning the USN 52R/ USN 52L

The instrument can be easily cleaned because, due to the membrane keypad, there are no protruding parts on which dirt could collect.

We advise you to only use a damp cloth to clean the instrument and the necessary accessories. Only use water or a mild household cleaning agent.

AAttention:

Solvents can cause plastic parts to become brittle and thus damage them.

7.2 Maintenance of NiCd cells

The NiCd cells should be charged in the following cases:

•before operating the instrument for the first time,

•after a prolonged storage time (approx. 3 months),

Charging NiCd cells

You can charge the rechargeable NiCd cells with the Power Supply/Charger unit. Only use the types recommended by us (refer to Chapter 2.2 Required Accessories).

–Set the charge switch in the battery compartment of the instrument to NiCd charging.

–Connect the instrument to the Mains/Charger unit. The batteries are fully charged after 6 to 7 hours.

AAttention:

Only use the batteries recommended by us. Inexpert handling of batteries and charger can cause danger of explosion.
