l
Don’t use abrasive erasers or harsh chemicals to clean the product.
l
The digital cameras located in the corners of the frame are protected from dust and dirt by
windows. In extremely dusty environments, spray an alcohol-free household glass cleaner,
such as Windex® cleaner, on a cotton swab and rub it gently on the windows. Don’t use
compressed air to clean the cameras.
Keeping the writing surface clean
Follow these tips to keep the interactive whiteboard’s surface clean.
l
Clean the interactive whiteboard at least every six months.
l
Don’t spray cleaner directly onto the interactive whiteboard’s surface. Instead, spray a light
amount of cleaner on a cloth and then gently wipe the interactive surface.
l
IMPORTANT
Turn off the interactive whiteboard system before you clean it so that you do not scramble
the desktop icons or inadvertently activate applications when you wipe the interactive
surface.
TIP
To view dirt or streaks more easily, set the projector to Standby (lamp off) mode.
Cleaning the projector
WARNING
Cleaning a wall-mounted projector can result in a fall or injury. Use caution when climbing a
ladder, and consider removing the projector from its wall-mounting bracket to clean it.
CAUTION
l
Never scrub the mirror cover with a cleaning cloth or touch the mirror cover with your hands
or a brush. Instead, clean the mirror cover as you would clean a lens, using lens cleaning
tissue and no solvents. Do not apply pressure to the mirror cover, and do not use cleaning
products designed for touch screens or monitors.
l
Before you clean the projector, press the Power
button twice on the remote control to
put the system in Standby mode, and then allow the lamp to cool for at least 30 minutes.
