PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The Radlink GPS Tablet is designed to require little preventative maintenance over an extended period
of use. The main features that will require attention over time and extended use are as follows:
1.
Disinfection & Decontamination periodically with isopropyl alcohol.
(Other cleaning methods should be confirmed with the manufacturer.)
To mitigate the potential spread of infectious diseases, the surfaces of the Radlink GPS should be
thoroughly cleaned as they are taken in and out of high-risk environments (e.g. the operating room),
especially if surfaces come into contact with any equipment or materials from these environments.
Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the unit.
To clean the monitor screen use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth and a small amount of non-
ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner
2.
Scratches, finger grease, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the performance of your
touchscreen. Here are a few things you can do to help protect the screen:
Clean frequently. The GPS Tablet touchscreen has been coated to make it easier to clean. You
don’t need to rub hard to remove fingerprints or oily spots. To avoid scratches, use a soft, lint-
free cloth to gently wipe the screen. You can dampen the cloth with water or an eyeglass
cleaner, but don’t apply liquids directly to your GPS Tablet. Don’t use window cleaner or other
chemical cleaners on your GPS Tablet.
Keep it covered. Close the cover while you’re in transit or not using your GPS Tablet.
Keep it out of the sun. Don’t leave your GPS Tablet in direct sunlight for a long time. Ultraviolet
light and excessive heat can damage the display.
3.
Power cords, like any other metal wire or cable, can be weakened or damaged if repeatedly twisted or
bent in the same spot. Here are a few things you can do to keep your power cord from being damaged:
Avoid twisting or pinching your power cord.
Don’t wrap your power cord too tightly, especially around the power brick. Instead, wrap it
using loose coils rather than tight angles.
Inspect your power cord regularly, especially where it joins the power brick.
Avoid pulling on the power cord when unplugging your GPS Tablet. Gently removing the
connector from the charging connector can help prevent damage to your power cord.
If you find any damage on any part of your GPS Tablet charger’s cords, stop using the cord
and contact Radlink Technical support.
4.
Check Windows Defender scan history periodically and look for signs of malware detection.
Recommended monthly.
Full system scans can be done manually in addition to automatic daily scans.
5.
Updates for Windows OS operating system are tested and approved by Radlink. A list of the most
current approved updates can be found at Radlink.com. Recommended monthly.
Note: Installation of additional software requires administrative privileges provided by Radlink.
