CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Cleaning
DO NOT clean the power supply charger.
Cleaning removes dirt from the surface of the device. It does not kill bacteria
or viruses. The receiver and transmitter should be cleaned whenever they are
visibly dirty and between each use. You will need a soft, water-dampened cloth
or an isopropyl alcohol wipe.
Cleaning the receiver or transmitter:
1. Close the receiver's USB port slide cover.
2. Wipe the outside of the device with a slightly damp cloth or isopropyl alcohol
wipe.
3. The receiver is not waterproof. Do not use a soaking wet cloth.
4. The transmitter is water resistant when snapped into the sensor pod, but do
not soak the transmitter by itself in liquid.
5. Do not use soap, nail polish remover, or paint thinner. Only use isopropyl
alcohol and water.
