  • Page 9: Revitalizing The Raven Mtx Glass

    Revitalizing the RAVEN MTX Glass The RAVEN MTX comes out of the box with a NanoGlide™ coating that repels oil, water, and leaves the surface incredibly smooth to the touch. After some use, it may be necessary to revitalize to bring the glass back to its original slickness.
  • Page 10 Using a microfiber cloth, clean the RAVEN MTX screen to remove dust and fingerprints. Spray the revitalizer solution directly onto the RAVEN MTX glass. It should take approximately six sprays to cover the glass completely. IMPORTANT Do not spray so much that the solution drips down the screen. Excess moisture could damage the display and touch system.
  • Page 11 Using a microfiber cloth LIGHTLY spread the solution around to cover the entire screen. IMPORTANT DO NOT WIPE/BUFF AWAY ALL OF THE REVITALIZER SOLUTION FROM THE SCREEN. The coating on the glass leaves a very thin residual layer of Revitalizer, which significantly adds to the slickness and oil repellency.
