CLEANING PROCEDURE
Product Reference Guide 31
• Be sure to remove the rubber residuals by gently blowing them off with
clean compressed air.
CAUTION
Be careful when using compressed air: protect yourself with goggles and
point the nozzle far from eyes and not too close to the scanner surface.
Read previously the warning label on the spray can.
Cradle Contacts
• Use a soft dry cloth to clean the contact area and the plastic surface
around the contacts.
• Particular attention must be paid to remove dust, dirt and any cloth
residue. Do not allow this material to fall again onto the contacts.
• It is suggested the use of a soft white or pink pencil eraser to gently rub
the contacts. Cradle contacts should be cleaned with a motion along
the yellow direction.
• Be sure to remove the rubber residuals by gently blowing them off with
clean compressed air.
Scanner and cradle deep cleaning
In case some hard grime, grease or liquid residual are present on electrical
contacts, a deeper cleaning may be needed. If the above procedure is not
enough to guarantee proper working of the system, the use of isopropyl
alcohol is suggested (minimum 70%).
In this case it is suggested to use a cotton tipped applicator with isopropyl
alcohol, gently wiping along the pins of the electrical connection. Be sure
that cotton residue is not left on any pin of the electrical contacts.
Remove power before initiating the deep cleaning routine.
After completion of the deep cleaning routine allow the system to dry completely
before reconnecting to power. Depending on the environmental conditions wait at
least 30 minutes or, if possible, leave the system unpowered overnight.
