The EL backlight is activated for four seconds after any button is pressed. It cannot be left on continuously
as it would cause too great of a drain on the battery.
MAINTENANCE & 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.
