5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AUTO-VOX TD-2 system, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning the Camera Lens: Regularly wipe the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or water spots that may obstruct the view. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning the Monitor Screen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the monitor screen. For stubborn smudges, a screen cleaner designed for electronics can be used.
• Suction Cup Care: If the suction cup loses its stickiness, rinse it with warm water and let it air dry. This will restore its adhesive properties.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check all cables for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure they are securely routed and not pinched.
• Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, disconnect it from power and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
