The calibration instrument has been designed with the utmost care. Ease
of operation and simplicity of maintenance have been a central theme in
the product development. Therefore, with proper care the instrument
should require very little maintenance. Avoid operating the instrument in
oily, wet, dirty, or dusty environments.
If the outside of the instrument becomes soiled, it may be wiped clean
with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals on the
surface, which may damage the LCD or the plastic front panel.
If a hazardous material is spilt on or inside the equipment, the user is re-
sponsible for taking the appropriate decontamination steps as outlined by
the national safety council with respect to the material.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those rec-
ommended by Hart, users should check with a Hart Authorized Service
Center (see Section 1.3) to be sure that the proposed method will not
damage the equipment.
If the AC adapter becomes damaged, have it replaced immediately. Never
disassemble the AC adapter or attempt to repair it.
If the instrument is used in a manner not in accordance with the equip-
ment design, the operation of the thermometer readout may be impaired
or safety hazards may arise.
Periodic calibration of the instrument at regular intervals is required to en-
sure that it continues to measure with proper accuracy. Calibration should
only be performed by qualified authorized personnel.
