8.MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING

Do not work inside the equipment unless totally familiar with electrical circuits.

Hazardous voltage which can cause electrical shock, burn or serious injury exists inside the equipment.

8.1 Maintenance

Regular maintenance is important for good performance. A regu- lar maintenance program should be established and should at least include the following:

Cleaning the Equipment

Wipe of accumulated dust from the equipment with a soft cloth. An anti-static cleaner may be used to clean the screen of the termi- nal unit. Do not use commercial cleaners to clean the equipment. They can remove paint and markings.

Connectors and Earth Connection

Periodically check the connectors for proper seating and the earth connection for rust. Remove rust to maintain a good ground sys- tem.

Floppy Disk Drive

Clean the floppy disk drive head regularly to prevent erasure of information stored on disks.
