MAINTENANCE 605C BROADBAND BOOSTER PROPER CARE OF THE SYSTEM This product is designed with components that require no periodic maintenance except for cleaning and record keeping. The amount of cleaning necessary depends greatly on the conditions where the booster is mounted. While the electronics have been designed to function well even if covered with dust, heavy buildups of dirt and insects will impede the effectiveness of the cooling and lead to shutdown or premature failure.
