future reference.

PRECAUTIONS

To prevent damage, do not use the tuner in the following locations:
• places where the unit will be in direct sunlight;
• places subject to temperature and humidity extremes;
• places that are sandy or dusty.
To power the tuner, use only two CR-2025 lithium batteries.
For maximum battery life, always be sure the tuner is turned OFF when
not in use.
If an exhausted battery is left in the unit for an extended period of time,
it may leak and cause malfunctioning of the unit. When the battery
becomes exhausted, always remove it and replace it as soon as
possible.
Do not subject the tuner to strong physical shock or vibration. Do not
use excessive force on any of the controls.
Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the tuner.
Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
After reading the owner's manual, keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
Never dispose of used batteries by burning them.
Also make sure to keep batteries away from children.
