4.1 Cleaning the Screen

Clean the screen with a soft cloth or lint-free paper towel and a mild cleaning solution.

Cleaning products and how to use them

Paper towels tend to leave lint. A better paper towel for

For protective glass and the LCD screen itself, a foam spray cleaner seems to work well. It’s is sold under differ- ent names in different parts of the world. It is available from many janitor supply companies or building mainte- nance supply companies. Ask for

Claire #50 glass cleaner, or

Sprayway #50 glass cleaner

cleaning is Scott® Shop Towels. These blue, lint free, paper towels are generally available at auto parts stores, home fix-it stores, and hardware stores.

It is probably sold under a local name, but it all comes from one company. If you ask for either of the two names above (it is sold under both), you will get this cleaner under the local name.

This cleaner is good on glass (screens, lenses, mirrors) and acrylic (screens).

Spray it on the protective outer glass, but not on the LCD itself. For LCDs, spray it on the cloth, not the screen.

CAUTION

Prevent liquid from running down the screen and leaking into the interior of the Bay Cat X. Spray liquids on the cloth or towel, not directly on the LCD.

Wipe the mirror or screen gently with a lint-free cloth or lint-free paper (see Cloth below). Turn the cloth over to the dry side and continue wiping to take up the haze.

Glass Wax™ is another good cleaner for mirrors and glass screens, but it does not work well on acrylic screens. It is a liquid in a can. You spread it on, let it dry, then wipe it off.

Windex™ works well, too. Just don’t spray it on the screen. (See Warning above.)

Cloth to use

White cotton cloth is better for cleaning than colored cloth. The dyes in some colored cloth tend to make it less absorbent.

CAUTION

If you use a cloth towel, be sure it is clean. If the towel was used to clean counter tops or anything else, it may contain grit which could scratch the protective glass.
