Caution:
The contents of the desiccant canisters could be harmful if ingested. If you
discard the saturated desiccant canisters, make sure they are properly disposed of.
2.—Lift the saturated desiccant canisters out of your instrument and install the new desiccant
canisters.
3.—Use the 4-in1 tool to install the desiccant cover, and then replace the 4-in-1 tool in its
compartment and close the tool compartment door.
Notice: If the humidity indicator has turned white or does not return to blue after the
desiccant has been replaced, you must replace the humidity indicator.
Regenerating the desiccant
When the desiccant canisters must be replaced, you can contact us to order new desiccant
canisters, or you can dry and reuse the saturated canisters according to the following
instructions.
Time needed: 3 hours
Tools needed: Vented oven
Insulated cloth or hot pad
Note: If you need to replace the humidity indicator, you must order new desiccant canisters.
A new humidity indicator is included with the new desiccant canisters.
Notice: If you are going to dry and reuse saturated desiccant canisters, make sure you have
fresh desiccant canisters you can place in your instrument while the saturated canisters dry.
Notice: Do not leave canisters in the oven for more than three hours and do not exceed a
temperature of 150 ºC (about 300 ºF).
Notice: Make sure the insulated cloth or hot pad you use to handle the regenerated desiccant
canisters is not contaminated with substances that could be absorbed by the desiccant and
subsequently released into your instrument.
