Maintenance

Impact
The TM-500 is highly impact resistant. Even if dropped
onto concrete, this unit should survive without permanent
damage. In the event that the top of the case opens
up during impact, it should be possible to push it back
together again. Do not attempt to open the case to make a
repair nor should any force be used. If a simple local fix is
not possible, return the unit for repair.
Field Repair
Field repairs are limited to replacing line cords (with
approved types) and replacing belt clips. Attempting any
other repair at field level is liable to damage the instrument
and will invalidate the manufacturer's warranty. Check your
company policy before considering any repair. Although
limited field repair may be possible, your company may
have a policy of centralized repair.

Changing Line Cord

1. Disconnect the unit from the circuit.
2. Remove the screw and slide the cover off.
3. Disconnect the strain relief.
4. Replace the line cord and reconnect the strain relief.
5. Slide the cover back on and tighten the screw.
