5Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of the DView. Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the DView. Doing so may cause deterioration or peeling of paint from the display or remote control unit.

Wipe the display and remote control gently with a soft cloth. In case of excessive dirt buildup, dampen a soft cloth with a diluted neutral cleaning detergent. Wring the cloth thoroughly, then wipe the component and dry it with a dry soft cloth.
