MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY
3.
3.1 Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure accurate operation of the unit and will
prolong its service life. Use an air duster to remove dust from the sensors. Insert
approximately ¼ inch of the duster nozzle through the front bill insertion slot to
blow away any debris that may have accumulated inside the unit.
Do not insert the nozzle more than ¼ inch into the unit as it may damage the
sensor mechanisms inside the Kolibri Bishop unit.

3.2 Troubleshooting
Because of the printing method used by the US Mint, bills are not exactly
identical. This will occasionally cause a bill to not be recognized on the rst run in
an automatic detector. This may also occur if a bill is inserted with even a slight
deviation from the required pathway. The Kolibri Bishop is an advanced machine
and will never accept a counterfeit bill. If it recognizes a bill after the second or
third attempt, you can be assured that the bill is genuine.
Several factors can cause the Kolibri Bishop to not recognize a genuine bill:
• Overly wrinkled, overly creased and overly worn bills
• A physical shock
• A sudden change in temperature or humidity
• Extended period of non-use.
If the Bishop consistently refuses to recognize genuine bills, turn the unit off, unplug
it from the wall. Reinsert the plug and turn the machine on to perform a reset.

sensor. This cleaning is not covered by warranty and should be performed only
by a qualied technician.
