WARNING   CLEANING INFORMATION  Before cleaning any external parts  of  the apparatus, make sure that  all  cables  have  been  disconnected,  including  the  power supply cable. If a damp cloth is used, make sure it is not too wet, to  avoid  any  damage  to  the  electrical  components  of  the equipment.  Wait  until  the  equipment  is  totally  dry  before reconnecting the cables. The Detector Duo should be cleaned periodically using a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents. Do  not  apply  liquid  directly  to  the  electrical  contacts  of  the various  connectors.  If  a  specific  spray  is  used  to  clean  the  PC TFT monitor, make sure it is not flammable; ion any case, do not spray it directly on the screen, instead, spray it onto the cleaning cloth.

Connect these pipes with the non-wheeled frame (the white spots on it show you which side goes down). Link the other two junction pipes and finally close the box with the other wheeled frame.  Fig. 1-16 shows you how to build the box. Now take the rudder and put it in the metallic junctions of the wheeled frames. Be sure to lock it with the knobs showed in Fig. 1-17. The locking devices are the two  knobs  with a little button  in  their centres:  you have to push it , insert the knob in place and then release it.

It can be used to perform web conferences and presentations. It is easy to use thanks to its simple and intuitive interface. Since there are no firewalls or other types of network configurations, it is a fast and secure means of reaching any client host in any part of the world. In fact, the client  only  has  to  accept  to  download  a  small  plug  used  to  permit  the  service authentication and functioning.  3.1.1 How to use the Webex service  You  will  receive  an  email  from  IDS  Customer  Care  containing  a  link  to  the support session (see Fig. 3-1).
