Removing the OMI-2 window Removing the OMI-2 window It is not necessary to remove the OMI-2 from the machine when adjusting the switches or installing new parts . The window may be removed either to change reception/start range settings and output options (see relevant section), or replace a broken window .
Removing the OMI-2 label Window Translucent area The window fits tightly in the OMI-2 body and is removed using the two long screws which are inserted into the threaded holes A . Press the top of the label to enable its removal .
