10. Care and Maintainance

NOTE:

•Although this meter has an All-weather design for everyday use (JIS standard water resistance class 4), do not place it in water or use it underwater. This will cause it to malfunction.

Splashed

 

Do not wash with water

 

 

 

Rain

 

Do not submerge or use under water

 

 

 

•To avoid damaging this meter, never drop it or subject it to shock.

•Avoid storing it in places with high temperatures or humidity.

•Avoid excessive temperature changes which could cause internal condensation, resulting in malfunction.

•If the temperature of the meter drops to -10 deg. C or beyond, response of the LCD becomes extremely slow and displays are difficult to read. At temperatures between 0 and 10 deg. C the LCD will become somewhat slower than normal but this does not hinder usage. Also, when the temperature exceeds 50 deg. C, the LCD will turn black and will be hard to read. This will return to normal when the temperature returns to normal.

•Do not place the meter in direct sunlight during midsummer or near heaters, etc., as the temperature of the meter will rise beyond that of the air temperature. Be careful when using the meter in hot locations.

Maintenance Notes

•If your meter is splashed with water, wipe immediately with a soft dry cloth. This will cause rust or corrosion.

•Avoid applying excessive force on the rubber seal of the battery compartment cover or attempting to remove it. This will cause inundation, corrosion or malfunction.

•If the rubber seal’s surface is damaged,water or moisture may enter and damage the meter. If this has happened, you must send your meter to the Sekonic Sevice Center in your country.

•When light meter get dirty, clean it with soft dry cloth. Never use organic cleaners (like thinner or benzene).
