Inspect and clean the monitor and accessories

Before cleaning, thoroughly inspect the monitor and all accessories for any signs of

damage, cracks, or improper mechanical function of keys or connectors. While gently

bending and flexing cables, inspect for damage, cracks, cuts, abrasions, extreme wear,

exposed wires or bent connectors. Confirm connectors securely engage. Report damage

or improper function to your service department. At least every 12 months, be sure to

thoroughly inspect the battery charger case and power cord for damage or extreme wear.

To clean the monitor, batteries, or battery charger:

1. Wipe the equipment with a nearly dry cloth moistened with one of the approved

cleaning solutions listed in the table on “Approved Cleaning Solutions” on page 46.

2. After cleaning, thoroughly wipe off any excess cleaning solution with a soft cloth

dampened with water, then dry. Do not let the cleaning solution run into or

accumulate in connector openings, latches, or crevices. If liquid gets into a battery

well or connectors, dry the area with warm air, then check the equipment to confirm

that it operates properly.

WARNING Be sure to unplug the monitor battery charger power cord from the

electrical power outlet before inspecting or cleaning the battery charger.

Exposing the battery charger to liquids such as cleaning solutions while

connected to electrical power could result in electrical shock or fire.

WARNING Do not autoclave the monitor, battery, battery charger, or

accessories. Do not immerse the monitor, battery, or battery charger in liquid

when cleaning. Do not immerse accessories in liquid when cleaning unless the

accessory manufacturer’s cleaning instructions explicitly instruct you to do so.
