  • Page 9: Revitalizing The Raven Mti Glass

    Revitalizing the RAVEN MTi Glass The RAVEN MTi 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 MTi screen to remove dust and fingerprints. Spray the revitalizer solution directly onto the RAVEN MTi 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 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. Removing all of the product will leave the glass less smooth than desired. RAVEN MTI CUBASE/NUENDO USER MANUAL 11...
