Screen Cleaning:
The computer display, with proper usage and cleaning, will last
for the anticipated field life of the product (3 to 5 years) without
significant degradation in view-ability or function.
For mild cleaning tasks use the micro-fiber cleaning cloth provid-
„
ed with your unit. Tougher contaminates such as oily fingerprints
may require light dampening with clean water. Try this method
before trying stronger solutions.
For tougher cleaning tasks, use the cleaning cloth with an equal
„
(50/50) mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water (50/50).
Never use paper products such as paper towels or wipes to clean
„
the display surface. Paper products are abrasive and act much
like fine sandpaper, causing irreversible damage to the screen
surface and anti-glare hard coat.
Replacement cleaning cloths and approved display cleaning

representative to order.

A screen overlay is recommended for environments with high
contaminant potential. Remove contaminants from its surface

„

„
fingertips may introduce contaminants to the touchscreen sur-
face and increase periodic screen cleaning requirements.
