Preventive Maintenance

The TimeCreator 1000 requires minimal preventive maintenance. Ensure the unit is
not exposed to hazards such as direct sunlight, open windows, water, or extreme
heat. See Environmental
compatibility conditions that may cause damage.
Caution: To avoid electromagnetic discharge damage to the circuitry,
never attempt to vacuum the TimeCreator 1000.

interior chassis of the TimeCreator 1000 be allowed to come in
contact with water.
