Care & Cleaning
After using the Tech2, a few simple steps will insure that you get the most life out of this
diagnostic tool.
NOTICE:
Do not spray or pour cleaner anywhere on the Tech2. If the Tech2 should
become dirty, clean it with a mild detergent or hand soap. Avoid using harsh solvents such
as petroleum-based cleaning agents: acetone, benzene, trichlorethylene, etc. Harsh
solvents can etch Tech2 plastic surfaces.
Although the Tech2 is water resistant it is not waterproof, so be sure to thoroughly dry off
the Tech2 prior to usage and/or storage.
Maintenance of the Tech2 requires periodic inspection and cleaning of:
• The display window
• The keypad
• The cable assemblies and connectors
Make sure the Tech2 is not connected to a vehicle or other power source and follow the
cleaning procedures detailed below.
Cleaning the Display
The display collects dust and grime during normal use. Occasionally wipe the screen with
a clean, soft, static-free cloth. Remove stubborn stains by applying a non-abrasive glass
cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe cloth across display area.
Cleaning the Keypad
Clean the keypad with a non-abrasive cleaner. Apply a small amount of cleaner on a soft
cloth and wipe cloth across keypad area.
Maintaining the Cable Assemblies and Connectors
Inspect cable assemblies during connection and disconnection to components. Watch for
any cuts or abrasions along the cables. Check the connectors and connector pins for
grease, dirt and corrosion. If contaminants are present, remove them with a mild soap
solution.
Storing the Tech2
• Store the Tech2 away from solvents and other liquids. It is NOT moisture proof.
• Store the Tech2 away from direct sunlight. Ultraviolet and infrared light will darken
the display.
• Store the Tech2 in its plastic case. Otherwise, the high-impact plastic cover could
become scratched.
