Communications
• Some SmartCube models have the ability to communicate to the Minibar Systems computer server via
an integral modem device.
• Internal data is gathered and then automatically communicated to the server.
• In addition, data can be transmitted to the SmartCube using a wireless hand held unit by the hotel.
This will also be automatically communicated to the server.
• The communications within the hotel will be set up by the Minibar Systems installation team in
coordination with the hotel and their network management team. The appropriate training will be
provided to the hotel personnel.
• For specific details on communication types, refer to the SmartCube Technical Specifications manual.
It is available from your Minibar representative or from the Minibar Systems website.
Note: See the Certification section regarding the FCC Statement for communications.
Routine Maintenance and Cleaning
• If the unit is fitted with an absorption cooling unit, it is recommended on an annual basis to check for
any leakage or small yellow type stains. If present, change the cooling unit. Please contact your
Minibar Systems representative for assistance.
• It is advisable to clean away any dust from the cooling unit and debris from the ventilation inlet and
exhaust vents, and shelf cutouts.
• For any other malfunction with the SmartCube, contact your Minibar Systems representative for
advice.
• Occasionally, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the SmartCube. For Classic and Flexi models,
simply use a soft damp clean cloth on the plastic surfaces. For the Automated model, it would be best
to do this during a refill operation while the SmartCube is offline for the refill. Alternatively, it will be
necessary to suspend the communications to the bar at the base station server prior to cleaning.
• It is important NOT to use too much water, strong chemicals, cleaning agents, soap or abrasive
cleaning materials.
• If appropriate, the outside of the SmartCube can also be wiped down using a soft damp clean cloth.
