4.1 Cleaning the Screen
Clean the screen with a soft cloth or lint-free paper towel and a mild cleaning solution.
Cleaning products and how to use them
For protective glass and the LCD screen itself, a foam
spray cleaner seems to work well. It's is sold under differ-
ent names in different parts of the world. It is available
from many janitor supply companies or building mainte-
nance supply companies. Ask for
• Claire #50 glass cleaner, or
• Sprayway #50 glass cleaner
It is probably sold under a local name, but it all comes
from one company. If you ask for either of the two names
above (it is sold under both), you will get this cleaner under
the local name.
This cleaner is good on glass.
Spray it on the protective outer glass, but not on the LCD
itself. For LCDs, spray it on the cloth, not the screen.
CAUTION
Prevent liquid from running down the screen
and leaking into the interior of the GX40. Spray
liquids on the cloth or towel, not directly on the
LCD.
Wipe the screen gently with a lint-free cloth or lint-free
paper (see Cloth below). Turn the cloth over to the dry side
and continue wiping to take up the haze.
• Glass Wax™ is another good cleaner for mirrors and
glass screens, but it does not work well on acrylic
screens. It is a liquid in a can. You spread it on, let it
dry, then wipe it off.
• Windex™ works well, too. Just don't spray it on the
screen. (See Warning above.)
Cloth to use
White cotton cloth is better for cleaning than colored
cloth. The dyes in some colored cloth tend to make it less
absorbent.
CAUTION
If you use a cloth towel, be sure it is clean. If
the towel was used to clean counter tops or
anything else, it may contain grit which could
scratch the protective glass.

Paper towels tend to leave lint. A better paper towel for
®
cleaning is Scott
Shop Towels. These blue, lint free,
paper towels are generally available at auto parts stores,
home fix-it stores, and hardware stores.
