CLEANING THE TOUCH S CREEN
It’s important to realize the touch panel is sensitive to chemicals.
Specific Cleaning Information
: Use a soft, lint-free cloth. The 3M Microfiber Lens Cleaning
Cloth is especially recommended for cleaning touch panels without requiring liquid cleaner. The
cloth may be used dry or lightly dampened with a mild cleaner or Ethanol. Be sure the cloth is
only lightly dampened, not wet. Never apply cleaner directly to the touch panel surface; if
cleaner is spilled onto touch panel, soak it up immediately with absorbent cloth. Cleaner must
be neither acid nor alkali (neutral pH). When using cleaner, avoid contact with the edges of the
film or glass, and with the flex tail. Wipe the surface gently; if there is a directional surface
texture, wipe in the same direction as the texture. Never use acidic or alkaline cleaners, or
organic chemicals such as: paint thinner, acetone, tolulene, xylene, propyl or isopropyl alcohol,
or kerosene. Suitable cleaning products are commercially available pre-packaged for use; one
example of such a product is
™ or commercially available off-the shelf retail
Glass Plus® Glass and Surface Cleaner
made by Reckitt-Benckiser. Use of
incorrect cleaners can result in optical impairment of touch panel and/or damage to functionality.
Note
: Most products contain 1-3% Isopropyl Alcohol by volume, which is within acceptable limits
for Resistive Touch Panel cleaning use.
Caution
: Many products contain Ammonia, Phosphates, and/or Ethylene Glycol, which are NOT
ACCEPTABLE; check product content label carefully.
