7. Vzdrževanje

7.1. Cleaning the Optical Connector

A clean optical connector is crucial for accurate measurements and to prevent damage to the fiber. Always clean the connector before use.

  • Use a high-quality, lint-free fiber optic cleaning wipe or a specialized fiber optic cleaning stick.
  • Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (99% pure) to the cleaning material.
  • Gently clean the end-face of the optical connector.
  • Allow the connector to dry completely before re-connecting any fiber.
  • Always keep the dust cap on the optical port when not in use.

7.2. Nega naprave

  • Keep the device dry. If it gets wet, wipe it immediately with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts, even with the protective case.
  • Napravo shranjujte v čistem in suhem okolju, ko je ne uporabljate.
  • Če naprave ne boste uporabljali dlje časa, odstranite baterije, da preprečite puščanje.
