Chapter 9 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential for proper and accurate performance of the
SignalHawk. These procedures cover the basic maintenance of the SignalHawk.
For more advanced issues, please contact Bird
Technologies customer service.

Cleaning

CAUTION
Harsh or abrasive detergents, and some solvents, can
damage the display unit and labels.
Clean the Bird SignalHawk only with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent
and water. Do not use any other type of cleaning solution.

Discharging Static Electricity

Touch the element to a safe grounded material.
WARNING
Care should be taken when handling objects with built up
static electricity. Electrical shock may occur.

Charging the Battery

The internal battery pack will automatically recharge when the SignalHawk is
powered from the AC or cigarette lighter adapter. Recharging time, from a full
discharge, is approximately 4 hours.

Upgrading the Software/Firmware

Both the firmware and software are updated on a regular basis. The operator's
manual covers the most recent upgrade to the firmware up to the date listed on
the manual. Yet, not all SignalHawk models have the current revision of the
firmware or software. Please upgrade both the firmware and software to obtain
the most current revision.
