Appendix F – Safety and Maintenance
General Care
Keep beverages away from your BrailleNote Touch. Periodically wipe the case down with a warm damp
cloth. Don’t use any cleaning compounds.
Braille Display Care
Each cell of the Braille display has eight pins. For each pin there is a special crystal that lifts the pin to
make a dot, and allows the pin to drop when there is no dot. The pins have to be able to move freely. In
normal use dirt unavoidably accumulates on the display and around the Touch cursor routing keys. To
prevent the pins from jamming, the display and touch cursor should be cleaned regularly. Cleaning the
Braille display is not straightforward. We recommend that you send the BrailleNote BT back to an
authorized BrailleNote BT service center every twelve months to clean the Braille display.
Making sure that your hands are always clean is a good start towards minimizing problems with your
Braille display. We suggest that once per week you wipe the surface of the Braille display using a soft
damp cloth. The cloth should be squeezed hard to ensure that all excess moisture has been removed.
Use only warm water on the cloth.
