14. Maintenance
14.1. Cleaning
Occasional external cleaning of the instrument with a soft cloth is recommended. Do not use
detergents or chemicals. (You may use water or a water-based or non-alcoholic cleaner. Other
types of cleaners, solvents and lubricants can contaminate and cause permanent damage to the
sensor.) Do not submerge the instrument in liquid. It is a good idea to install the Calibration Adapter
before cleaning the housing, to keep dirt, dust, or moisture away from the sensor openings and to
keep the filter clean.
Note: If the Honeywell BW Solo is to be used with an IntelliDox, make sure the infrared (IR) sensor
on the rear of the instrument is clean to ensure best communication quality.
14.2. Replacing The Alligator Clip
If the alligator clip is damaged or loose, replace the combined alligator clip/battery door together.
14.3. Replacing/Servicing Other Parts
Many interior components, including the display, vibration alarm, and horn gasket, are replaceable,
but service should only be performed by qualified service personnel. Note: Attempting service may
void your warranty.
15. Firmware Update
Firmware can be updated using an IntelliDoX docking station with SafetySuite software. For more
information, refer to the IntelliDoX manual.
16. Year Of Manufacture
To identify the year and week of manufacture, refer to the four-digit marking adjacent to the serial
number on the instrument label. It follows this number format:
