Maintenance and Troubleshooting 7 - 3
Harmful Ingredients
The following chemicals are known to damage the plastics on the device and should not come in contact with the
device: ammonia solutions, compounds of amines or ammonia; acetone; ketones; ethers; aromatic and chlorinated
hydrocarbons; acqueous or alcoholic alkaline solutions; ethanolamine; toluene; trichloroethylene; benzene;
carbolic acid and TB-lysoform.
Cleaning Instructions
Do not apply liquid directly to the device. Dampen a soft cloth or use pre-moistened wipes. Do not wrap the device
in the cloth or wipe, but gently wipe the unit. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the display window or other
places. Allow the unit to air dry before use.
Special Cleaning Notes
Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not recommended for medical use and are known to
be harmful to the housing of the device. The device should not be handled while wearing vinyl gloves containing
phthalates, or before hands are washed to remove contaminant residue after gloves are removed. If products
containing any of the harmful ingredients listed above are used prior to handling the device, such as hand sanitizer
that contain ethanolamine, hands must be completely dry before handling the device to prevent damage to the
plastics.
Cleaning Materials Required
• Alcohol wipes
• Lens tissue
• Cotton-tipped applicators
• Isopropyl alcohol
• Can of compressed air with a tube.
Cleaning Frequency
The cleaning frequency is up to the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the mobile
devices are used. They may be cleaned as frequently as required, but it is advisable to clean the camera window
periodically when used in dirty environments to ensure optimum performance.
IMPORTANT Use pre-moistened wipes and do not allow liquid to pool.

When using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) based products always follow the
manufacturer's recommended instructions: use gloves during application and remove
the residue afterwards with a damp alcohol cloth or a cotton swab to avoid prolonged
skin contact while handling the device.
Due to the powerful oxidizing nature of sodium hypochlorite, the metal surfaces on the
device are prone to oxidization (corrosion) when exposed to this chemical in the liquid
form (including wipes). Avoid allowing any bleach based product to come in contact with
the metal electrical contacts on the device, the battery, or the cradle. In the event that
these types of disinfectants come in contact with metal on the device, prompt removal
with alcohol-dampened cloth or cotton swab after the cleaning step is critical.
