5 Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning air filter

Remove the air filter inlet cover at the rear right side. Open the cover and
use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to blow dust from the filter. Mount
the filter in the same manner as opened.

5.2 Cleaning of connectors

The RF and control cables may be cleaned either using compressed air from a
can or Isopropanol based electronic cleaning spray. Never use water to clean
connectors. During field work, avoid putting connectors on the ground or in
water in order to minimize the probability of getting sand or dust inside the
connectors. Inspect connectors for corrosion at regular intervals.

5.3 Cleaning the antenna array

The antenna array top cover can be cleaned with a wet cloth with ordinary
cleaner. Never use high-pressure jet water washer on the antenna. The
bottom side can be cleaned firmly with a humid rag. Do not store the
antenna array inside the container if it is wet or humid.
