11. Maintenance
The 3040 is a high-quality multi-function instrument equipped with sensitive sensors that
preclude excessively rough treatment. Avoid storing the instrument in a humid environment.
Cleaning of the housing should be limited to non-abrasive and non-solvent based cleaners
using a soft cloth. When not in use, the 3040 should be stored in the supplied carry bag; of
course the bag must be kept clean and dry. If the instrument is to be stored for an extended
period it is recommended that the batteries be removed to eliminate the possibility of a battery
leak.
Exposure to Water: If water enters the 3040 housing, damage is likely and the warranty is void.
To minimize the extent of the damage and prevent a destructive short-circuit, remove the
batteries immediately. The following steps should be performed as soon as reasonably possible:
• Remove the housing screw and carefully open the housing.
• If salt water has entered the housing, thoroughly rinse affected areas with clean fresh water.
• Dry the instrument carefully with warm air (e.g., a hair dryer, 140° F max).
• Return the instrument to Flytec USA or Flytec AG for service.
