1 For mild cleaning tasks use the Itronix provided micro-fiber cleaning cloth; tougher contaminates such as oily fingerprints may
require light dampening with clean water. Plain water in combination with the cleaning cloth will be effective for most contaminants,
will not damage the Touch Screen, and should be tried before stronger solutions are considered.
2 For tougher cleaning tasks encountered with some contaminants a mixture of Isopropyl Alcohol and Water (50/50) used in combi-
nation with the Itronix cleaning cloth will be effective and will not damage the Touch Screen surface.
NOTE The Itronix cleaning cloth ships with all newly manufactured orders. Replacement cleaning cloths may be ordered by
contacting your Itronix Representative.

1 The Stylus included with GoBook Notebook Computers has been qualified for extended use with the integrated Touch Screen.
Foreign objects such as ball point pens or hand tools should never be used for Touch Screen input as they will cause damage to the
screen surface.
2 As an alternative to the Stylus, a clean finger tip can be used for Touch Screen input with out damaging the screen surface. Finger
tip use may introduce contaminants to the Touch Screen surface and increase periodic screen cleaning requirements.
NOTE Replacement stylus kits may be ordered by contacting your Itronix Representative.
