1.1 Instrument Care


Do not attempt to remove the mesh cover from the microphone as this will cause damage
and affect the accuracy of the instrument.

Protect the instrument from impact. Do not drop it or subject it to rough handling.
Transport it in the supplied carrying case.

Protect the instrument from water, dust, extreme temperatures, high humidity and direct
sunlight during storage and use.

Protect the instrument from air with high salt or sulfur content, gases and stored chemicals,
as this may damage the delicate microphone and sensitive electronics.

Always switch the instrument off after use. Remove the batteries from the instrument if it
is not to be used for a long period of time. Do not leave exhausted batteries in the
instrument, as they may leak and cause damage.
