5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance, keep the chronograph clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. For the measuring tube, gently use a cotton swab or soft brush to remove any dust or debris that might obstruct the sensors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
5.2 Storage
When not in use, store the chronograph in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, remove the AA batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the device.
