WARNING
CLEANING INFORMATION
Before cleaning any external parts of the apparatus, make sure
that all cables have been disconnected, including the power
supply cable. If a damp cloth is used, make sure it is not too wet,
to avoid any damage to the electrical components of the
equipment. Wait until the equipment is totally dry before
reconnecting the cables.
The system should be cleaned periodically using a damp cloth.
Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents.
Do not apply liquid directly to the electrical contacts of the
various connectors. If a specific spray is used to clean the PC
TFT monitor, make sure it is not flammable; ion any case, do not
spray it directly on the screen, instead, spray it onto the cleaning
cloth.
