Cleaning and Disinfecting
Important!
Never immerse your device in water.
Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting
Cleaning the Case
Before cleaning the case or the display, turn the device off. Clean the case with a slightly
dampened, lint-free cloth. Dry the case thoroughly with another lint-free cloth before turning
the device on.
Cleaning the Touch Screen
The touch screen is very sensitive. Fingerprint smears, dust, grime, saliva, etc. will affect its
performance. The screen also reacts to raindrops and extremes in temperature (condensation).
To dust the touch screen, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a slightly
dampened, lint-free cloth and then dry the screen with another soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not use solvents or abrasives on the touch screen or the case.
Cleaning Keyguard Frames, Keyguards, and Touchguides
All of these accessories can be removed from the case and washed in hot, soapy water. Dry
them
thoroughly
before putting them back on the device. The best practice for regular cleaning
is to dry accessories by hand, lay them on a dry towel, and let them air dry for about 5 minutes
before placing them back on the device.
Disinfecting
To disinfect everything but the display, use a solution of vinegar and water (¼ cup vinegar to 1
cup water). Wipe the case (not the display) using a cloth dampened with this solution.
Wash the keyguard frame, keyguard, and touchguide separately with the vinegar and water
solution. Allow all equipment to air dry.
Do not use vinegar and water on the display!
What about drooling/saliva?
Any saliva should be wiped up immediately, especially on the touch screen or around any of the
connectors. Use a slightly dampened, lint-free cloth to wipe the device.
What about spills, rain, or accidental immersion?
If you spill liquid or any runny substance on your device; if you're caught in a downpour; or if
the device is accidentally dropped in liquid, immediately dry the device as thoroughly as
possible. Try using the device. If it does not work, call the PRC Service Department and tell them
what happened. They may ask you to send in your device for servicing.
