Cleaning the strip adapter
When?
The strip adapter must be cleaned immediately if an error message
(OPT or ERR) is displayed.
The strip adapter should be thoroughly cleaned (dismantling the strip
adapter into its individual components) on a regular basis. Please refer to
the Reflectoquant® insert for the recommended period of use.
How?
1 . Switch off the instrument.
2 . Carefully pull the strip adapter out of the case.
3 . Dismantle the adapter into its three components.
4 . Clean the components with water and a mild detergent.
If necessary use ethanol. NEVER clean the white section
with abrasive cleaner as this will destroy its reflective properties.
