7. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the transparent housing and PC optic lens with a soft, damp cloth to maintain optimal brightness and visibility. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Magnetic Base Inspection: Periodically check the magnetic bases and protective rubber feet for wear or damage. Ensure the magnets are clean and free of debris to maintain strong adhesion.
