Make sure the batteries are strong and inserted like it shows
on the battery tray. Weak batteries will cause JCAD to not
operate properly.
If the detector takes
longer than 20 minutes
to become operational,
replace the batteries.
If the JCAD is still not
working after another
20 minutes, then put in a
new sieve pack.
•±
Be gentle with the lanyard and
protective cap. Do not use the
lanyard to pull the protective cap
away from the earpiece socket. The
lanyard and protective cap are easily
broken.
•±
Store the JCAD with the sieve pack
in it. Failure to do so may result in
contamination of the JCAD. Remove
the batteries for storage and
store them separately. This keeps
the batteries from leaking and
damaging the JCAD.
•±
Do not
open new
sieve packs
until you’re
ready to
use them.
•±
Ensure the detector has a new
operational sieve pack (white) and
not the yellow factory sieve pack
containing charcoal.
•±
Store the confidence sample in the
confidence sample pot after use.
This helps the confidence sample
last longer.
