Regular cleaning of the Vivid 3N scanner’s air filter will ensure that the filter does not become clogged
- this would otherwise cause the system to overheat and reduce system performance and reliability.
NOTE: It is recommended that the air filter cleaning procedure is performed once every 3 months (quarterly).
However, the required frequency for air filter cleaning will vary in accordance with environmental
conditions.

environment.
Prior to cleaning, turn OFF the power to the system.
Use a fluid detergent in warm water on a soft, damp cloth to carefully wipe the entire system.
Be careful not to get the cloth too wet so that moisture does not enter the console.
