the mirror dry with a clean, dry swab. Note: If you don't have
the supplied cleaning solution, a solution of two parts rub-

an optical device and will be offset by overhead light.
5. A vertical LED light bar indicates balance status. Either 3, 2, 1,
or zero horizontal bars will be lit. Locate the Balance, or Bias,
adjustment screw at the top of the sensor. See Figure 6. Using
the small screwdriver supplied in the maintenance kit, slowly
