screen and the frame. Dust buildup on the protective plastic can impair touch performance. Inspect
these areas for dust, and clean them every week.
Caution

Do not use compressed air to clean the sensors or borders.
l
Do not use water or cleaning agents to clean the touch sensors.
l
Do not apply too much pressure when cleaning the display because you can damage the plastic.

around the perimeter of the display’s screen.
