11.7 NBDP Terminal Unit Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for good performance. A regular maintenance program
should be established and should at least include the items mentioned below.
11.7.1 Cleaning the equipment
Wipe the LCD carefully to prevent scratching, using tissue paper and an LCD cleaner. To
remove dirt or salt deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wiping slowly with tissue paper so as to
dissolve the dirt or salt. Change paper frequently so the salt or dirt will not scratch the LCD.
Do not use solvents such as thinner, acetone or benzene for cleaning. Also, do not use
degreaser or antifog solution, as they can strip the coating from the LCD.
11.7.2 Connectors and earth connection
Periodically check the connectors for proper seating and the earth connection for rust.
Remove rust to maintain a good ground system.
11.7.3 Floppy disk drive
Foreign material on the floppy disk drive head can scratch the magnetic material in the
floppy, resulting in loss of data. Clean the floppy disk drive head regularly with a floppy disk
drive cleaning disk to prevent erasure of information stored on disks.
