Care and maintenance
Avoid electrostatic discharge
When humidity in the working environment decreases, the human body and other
insulators can become charged with static electricity due to friction.
To prevent unwanted electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these standard guidelines:
• Maintain the recommended humidity of 40% to 60% in the work environment.
• Dissipate electrostatic charge before performing routine operator maintenance.
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 keypads, switches, connectors, and
printer paper door. While gently bending and flexing cables and tubing, 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.
