Before doing any maintenance of the display, insure that the power is OFF.

 Wipe any dirt off with a dry soft cloth. If soiled with oil or heavily soiled, damp

cloth with water or soap, wring dry and lightly wipe the soiled areas. Remove

dust with a vacuum cleaner or a dry cloth. If water or soap should get into the

display, this may cause damage.

 Using benzene or thinner on the display or contact with insect spray may deform

or discolor the display.

 The surface of the LCD scratches easily and nothing hard (pencil lead hardness of

HB or harder) should be pressed or rubbed against it.

Even tissue paper can

scratch the display if rubbed too hard and therefore caution should be taken.

If the surface is difficult to clean, use a small amount commercial LCD cleaner
and wipe clean. Make sure that the cleaner does not drip inside of the display.
