Safety Precautions
1.9.1 CleaningtheDisplay
We recommend using a dry, clean cloth to wipe off dust regularly. Use alcohol or
ammonia-based cleaning agent for cleaning only when necessary. When other
solvents or cleaning agents are used, be sure to follow manufacturers’ instructions.
The agent should be applied to a clean cloth and sho uld not be sprayed directly
onto the panel surface. After cleaning the agent should be removed.
Ammonia based glass cleaners (typically 5-10% ammonia) or 75% alcohol can be
used to clean the s urface of PCAP and resistive touch panels.
When you clean the surface of your touch panel, please follow these steps:
1. Apply cleaning agent (alcohol, bleach, or glass cleaner) to a clean cloth. Make
sure the cloth is well saturated.
2. Wipe touch panel in a “Z” motion on the touch pan el surface.
3. Dry the panel thoroughly with a dry cloth, removing as much of the cleaning
solution as possible.
4. Do not mix bleach and ammonia because this will produce a dangerous
chemical reaction.
5. Please do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the touch panel surface.
