MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Extreme temperatures, vibrations, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage to the units.

Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents—they may mark and damage the displays and casings.

Do not submerge in water.

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

Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the units. Contact La Crosse Technology for Repairs.
