Unit Care

Cleaning the screen

Clean the screen with a mixture of distilled water (50%) and white distilled vinegar (50%) or Windex® Vinegar Multi Surface. Do not use any type of abrasive cleaners. They will remove the Anti-Reflection coating from the glass.

Inspect the buttons

Make sure that no buttons are stuck in the down position. If one is stuck, wiggle the button to free it back to the normal position.

Debris in the keyboard contacts

In case there is dirt or other debris covering the contacts inside the keypad, press down on the button in question and wiggle it to try to restore its function

Clean the connections

Corrosion or oxidation could occur on the power cable connector pins and fuse- holder. This can prevent sufficient power from flowing to the unit. Clean the connections to be sure. Sometimes the substance is clear and not easily seen.
