Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the exterior of the probe use a soft cloth moistened with either distilled water or isopropyl alcohol.
Before use allow the probe to dry completely.
Changing the Probe Tip
To change the probe tip use pliers to grip and pull it carefully straight out of its contact socket, along the
axis of the probe. Do not grip the white plastic insulator or the housing with pliers, because the tip could be
squeezed and made impossible to remove. The probe could be damaged.
If the probe tip is removed, the new tip can be inserted with pliers into the contact socket, along the axis
of the probe. In order to insert the probe tip completely into the housing, press the probe tip carefully against
a hard
surface.
Use pliers to grip and pull the probe tip carefully out
of its contact socket.
Do not grip the white plastic insulator or the probe
housing with pliers.
