cloth. For the LCD, wipe it carefully to prevent scratching,
using tissue paper and an LCD cleaner. To remove dirt or salt
deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wiping slowly with tissue paper
so as to dissolve the dirt or salt. Change paper frequently so
the salt or dirt will not scratch the LCD. Do not use solvents
such as thinner, acetone or benzene for cleaning any unit; they
can remove paint and marks and deform the equipment.
