Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Device
To get the most from your device, keep it clean and disinfected. If your
device will only be used by one person, routine cleaning and disinfecting
should be sufficient. If, however, multiple persons will be using the device,
take additional measures to clean and disinfect the device after it has been
used by one person before allowing it to be used by another person.
Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting
To clean your device case and screen, turn the device off, wipe with a
soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water, and dry with another
soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not spray or splash liquid directly on the device
.
To disinfect the case, moisten a clean cloth in a solution of 1/4 cup of
vinegar and 1 cup of water.
Do not use vinegar and water on the display
.
