12.9 Routine Maintenance
Cleaning the Outside of This Instrument
To clean the LCD and the outside of this instrument, turn off the power; remove the power cord from
the outlet; use a damp, well-wrung cloth to wipe the LCD and the outside of this instrument; and then
wipe them off with a dry cloth.
Note
• Turn the power off when you clean this instrument.
• Do not use chemicals such as thinner, benzene, or alcohol. Doing so may cause deformation and
discoloring.
• Use a well-wrung cloth. Otherwise, water may get inside this instrument.
Cleaning an Optical Adapter
WARNING
When you clean the optical components of this instrument, turn this instrument power off
so that you do not accidentally emit light from the light source port. If you clean the optical
components while the power is on, you may accidentally get light in your eyes, damage them,
and impair your vision.
1.
Make sure that this instrument power is off.
2.
Open the optical port cover.
3.
If the optical adapter is connected, follow the steps in section 12.8 to remove it.
4.
Use a lens cleaner to clean the optical components.
When the End of the Optical Fiber Is Slanted
If the end of the optical fiber is slanted, as with /ASC
option models, while being careful not to tear the
cleaner on the top edge of the fiber or get lint on the
fiber, clean from the bottom of the fiber end to the top.
Edge
Note
• Clean the optical components using a smooth lens cleaner that will not leave lint or dust on the lenses.
• You can clean the light source ports without removing the optical adapters by using a stick-shaped
cleaning tool, but we recommend that you remove the optical adapters when you clean.
