2. Remove any remaining dust with a lint-free cloth dampened in isopropyl
alcoho
l (75% solution) and rinsed with warm deionized water. (A
cotton-tipped applicator is useful for cleaning in narrow spaces and on circuit
boards.)
NOTE. If, after performing steps 1 and 2, a module is clean upo n inspection,
skip the following steps.
If there is still dust or dirt on the module, the oscilloscope may be spray washed
using a solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol by following these steps:
a. Spray wash dirty parts with isopropyl alcohol and w a it 60 seconds for the
majority of the alcohol to evaporate.
b. Use hot (120 °F to 140 °F) deionized water to thoroughly rinse them.
c. Dry all parts with low-pressure, deionized air.

.
D
ry all components and assemblies in an oven or drying compartment
using low-temperature (125 °F to 150 °F) circulating air.
