Setup

Arrange test leads, probes, and other accessories in the remaining compartments to prevent movement during transport.
Operating the Case
- Securing Contents: Ensure all items are properly seated within their respective compartments. Avoid overfilling the case, as this may prevent proper closure or cause damage to the contents.

- Transport: Use the integrated handle on the top of the case for carrying. Always ensure the case is closed and latched before transport.

- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the case with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the case material.
- Internal Cleaning: Periodically remove contents and wipe down the interior compartments to remove dust or debris.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the latches, hinges, and case body for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If significant damage is observed, consider replacing the case to ensure continued protection for your equipment.
- Storage: Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
