Exterior cleaning
To clean the AFG exterior:
1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the arbitrary function generator (AFG) with a lint-free cloth.
Use care to avoid scratching the clear glass display shield.
2. Remove remaining dirt with a lint free cloth dampened in a general-purpose detergent-and-water
solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION. To prevent getting moisture inside your AFG during external cleaning, use only enough
liquid to dampen the cloth or applicator.
To avoid damage to the surface of your AFG, do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.
Flat panel display cleaning
The display is a soft plastic display and must be treated with care during cleaning.
CAUTION. Imported cleaning agents or methods can damage the flat panel display.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or commercial cleaners to clean the display surface.
Avoid scrubbing the display with excessive force.
Avoid spraying liquids on the display surface.
To clean the front panel
1. Clean the flat panel display surface by gently rubbing the display with a clean-room wipe (such as
Wypall Medium Duty Wipes, #05701, available from Kimberly-Clark Corporation).
2. If the display is very dirty, moisten the wipe with distilled water or a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution
and gently rub the display surface. Avoid using excess force or you may damage the plastic
display surface.
CAUTION. To prevent getting moisture inside your AFG during external cleaning, use only enough
liquid to dampen the cloth or applicator.
