Cleaning and Drying

Blow dust off lenses and prisms.
•
Never touch the glass with your fingers.
•
Cleaning the touchscreen:
Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning.
•
☞ The touchscreen is covered by a thin, touch resistive foil. This foil can
easily be damaged during cleaning e.g. by detergents.
Dry the product, the transport container, the foam inserts and the accessories
at a temperature not greater than 40°C /104°F and clean them. Remove the
battery cover and dry the battery compartment. Do not repack until everything
is completely dry. Always close the transport container when using in the field.
Keep plugs clean and dry. Blow away any dirt lodged in the plugs of the con-
necting cables.
Wet connectors must be dry before attaching the dust cap.

Glass Cleaning Procedure

The scanning mirror must be kept clean. The instructions must be followed as
described in this chapter to clean the scanner mirror.
Using a compressed gas duster (e.g., UltraJet® 2000 Gas Duster or UltraJet®
Compressed CO2 Duster), remove dust and debris from surface of scanner
glass.
☞ Never rub off dust or debris as this will scratch the glass and so possi-
bly cause permanent damage to the special optical coatings.
Soiling of the glass pane can cause extreme measurement errors and therefore
useless data!
☞ All soiling that is visible on the glass pane has to be removed, except
for single small dust particles that adhere inevitably.
