Remove the remainder gel from the electrodes with a clean soft cloth first. Take the suction
bulb and mental cup of chest electrodes apart, and take the clamp and the metal part of the
limb electrodes apart. Clean them in warm water and be sure there is no remainder gel. Dry
the electrodes with a clean dry cloth or air dry naturally.

Dirty and soiled thermal print head will deteriorate the record definition. So it should be
cleaned at least once a month regularly.
Open the recorder casing and remove the paper. Wipe the print head gently with a clean soft
cloth damped in 75
% alcohol. For stubborn stain, soak it with a little alcohol first and wipe it
off with a clean soft cloth. After air dried, load the record paper and shut the casing of the
recorder.
CAUTION :
Prevent the detergent from seeping into the main unit while cleaning. Do not immerse the
unit or patient cable into liquid under any circumstances.
CAUTION :
Do not clean the unit and accessories with abrasive fabric and avoid scratching the
electrodes.
