IV. EQUIPMENT CARE AND CLEANING
A. Proper Handling
• When adjusting microphone position, hold boom at base, not at microphone end.
• Carry headset by headband, not by earpiece, and never by microphone boom.
• Use both hands to put headset on or take it off.
B. Cleaning
1. COMMUNICATOR
®
• Remove batteries from Communicators.
• Clean batteries and Communicators with damp sponge sprayed with household
cleaner. Squeeze excess liquid out of sponge before using it.
• Clean metal battery contacts on batteries and Communicators as follows. Wet
tip of swab with alcohol and squeeze excess alcohol from it. Wipe each contact
with swab and be certain all contacts are dry before reinstalling batteries.
• Foam muffs on headset earpieces can easily be replaced for sanitary purposes.
To order extra foam muffs, call your local HME sales representative.
2. Battery Charger
Avoid splashing water or grease on the battery charger. Clean the battery charger
monthly as follows.
CAUTION: Always unplug the battery charger before cleaning it.
• Remove all batteries from the battery charger.
• Clean the battery charger case with a damp sponge. Wet the sponge and wring
it out so it is damp, not dripping wet. Spray household cleaner on the sponge
(NOT DIRECTLY ON THE EQUIPMENT). Clean the battery charger with the
sponge and dry it thoroughly.
• Wet the tip of a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and squeeze the excess
alcohol from the swab. Wipe the metal contacts inside each battery port with
the damp swab. Allow the contacts to dry before placing batteries in the ports.
