2.7 Workstation Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance procedures are required to keep your workstation in good
operating condition. It is recommended to clean the workstation regularly and make use of the
screen saving options.
2.7.1 Cleaning the Workstation
Clean the screen surface with a soft, lint-free cloth, dampened with an ammonia or alcohol-
based glass cleaner.
Alternatively, use a mild detergent solution in water as a glass cleaner, then wipe with a water-
dampened cloth.
ATTENTION!!
Avoid the use of petroleum-based cleaners.
2.7.2 Screen Saver Option
The option is enabled in the Setup display of the Online Setup. Enabling this option prolongs
CRT life.
It causes the screen to dim automatically if for a preset time (5 to 20 minutes), no key is
pressed or there is no host command input. An indicator will appear on the status line
indicating that the screen has been dimmed. To display is restored when a key is pressed.
2.7.3 Power Saver
This is a built-in function to save power. If the workstation is ON and not active (i.e. no
keyboard or host input) for more than two hours the screen dims indicating that the power saver
function is enabled.
Power consumption is reduced by up to 50% and emission of radiation from the workstation is
also greatly reduced.
The green LED on the front of the workstation turns to orange. When a key is pressed, the
optional mouse is moved or data is received from the host, the workstation automatically
returns to normal, full power operation. Existing data on the screen remains untouched.
