Cleaning cradle contacts
• Use a soft dry cloth to clean the contact area and the
plastic surface around the contacts .
• Particular attention must be paid to remove dust, dirt
and any cloth residue. Do not allow this material to fall
again onto the contacts.
• It is suggested the use of a soft white or pink pencil
eraser to gently rub the contacts. Cradle contacts
should be cleaned with a motion along the yellow
direction.
• Be sure to remove the rubber residuals by gently
blowing them off with clean compressed air.
Scanner and cradle deep cleaning
In case some hard grime, grease or liquid residual are present
on electrical contacts, a deeper cleaning may be needed. If the
above procedure is not enough to guarantee proper working
of the system, the use of isopropyl alcohol is suggested (mini-
mum 70%).
In this case it is suggested to use a cotton tipped applicator
with isopropyl alcohol, gently wiping along the pins of the
electrical connection. Be sure that cotton residue is not left on
any pin of the electrical contacts.
CAUTION
Be careful when using compressed air: protect
yourself with goggles and point the nozzle far
from eyes and not too close to the scanner sur-
face. Read previously the warning label on the
spray can.
NOTE
Remove power before initiating the deep clean-
ing routine.
After completion of the deep cleaning routine
allow the system to dry completely before recon-
necting to power. Depending on the environmen-
tal conditions wait at least 30 minutes or, if
possible, leave the system unpowered overnight.
