Cleaning the Mitel 6970 IP Conference Phone touchscreen

Frequent use of the Mitel 6970 IP Conference Phone may lead to a dirty screen. To clean the phone 
screen, Mitel recommends using a super-fine cotton cloth, cotton swab, or microfiber lens cloth 
made of microfiber suede (preferably the one without sewn hems or similar characteristics that would 
scratch the surface of the screen). You can use the cloth dry for dusting, polishing and light cleaning, 
or dampen it (with water only) to deep clean the surface. If using a damp cloth, make sure to use 
just a little water on the cloth. Too much moisture can cause damage to your phone that could be 
permanent. If the cloth is dripping or the surface shows water spots after wiping, then you are using 
too much water on the cloth. 

Adhere to the following rules when cleaning the Mitel 6970 IP Conference Phone screen:

Do not use any sharp objects including your fingernail. 

Do not rub, touch or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ball-point 
pen or a screw driver.

Do not use any type of cleansers including abrasive cleansers.

Do not use any type of glass cleaner or any cleaner that contains alcohol or ammonia.
