Cleaning the base unit
■ Unplug the base unit before cleaning.
■ Wipe the surfaces with a soft cloth slightly
dampened (not wet).
■ Avoid wiping the electrical connectors on the back
of the base unit.
■ Dry the base unit thoroughly after cleaning.
Visually verify that no solution is seen in the base
unit connectors at the completion of cleaning. If
cleaning fluid is allowed to collect in any connector,
severe damage can occur to the meter and the base
unit.
■ If using commercially available pre-moistened
cleaning cloths, squeeze off excess cleaning
solution or blot on a dry paper towel to remove any
excess cleaning solution before cleaning the
surface of the base unit.
■ If cleaning solution does get on the connectors or
pools in the base unit, unplug the base unit, then
dry the components with a dry cloth or gauze pad
before returning the meter to the base unit.
■ Plug in the base unit.
NOTICE
Ensure meter/base unit (including connectors) are thor-
oughly dried after cleaning or disinfecting. A flashing
LED (red) on the base unit indicates a fault condition.
NOTICE
Do not spray the base unit directly with solutions as this
could cause the solution to enter the case and damage
the electronic components.
