How to Clean, and Disinfect Displays
General Considerations
In general, clean Advanced Flight Systems (AFS) displays with a clean, lint-free cloth, such as a microfiber towel. Do not use abrasive materials, especially on the viewable areas of the screen.
AFS displays are not water-resistant and are not fully sealed against moisture ingress. Therefore, for all of the cleaning recommendations below, never spray or excessively wet displays, especially around buttons, knobs, and other seams that might allow water entry. Water damage to AFS displays is not covered under warranty.
Cleaning and Sanitizing the Viewable Display Area
The viewable area of AFS displays contains various anti-glare and/or anti-reflective treatments that will be harmed by general-purpose cleaning agents. Do NOT use cleaners that contain ammonia, bleach, or other general-purpose cleaning agents. These cleaners will damage the protective screen coatings.
To clean the viewable area of AFS displays, commercially-available wipes that are designed for use on computer screens are suitable and effective. Note that these wipes may not be appropriate for sanitizing/disinfecting. Refer to manufacturer guidelines for their use.
To sanitize/disinfect the viewing area of AFS displays, use only a 70% or greater isopropyl alcohol solution with a clean, lint-free cloth. The screen must remain wet for at least 30 seconds to effectively sanitize the surface.
Cleaning and Sanitizing Buttons, Bezels, Knobs, and Module
To clean soiled surfaces other than the viewable display, including buttons, bezels, and knobs, and other modules, use a slightly damp cloth moistened with water or a mild soap/water solution. Remove soap residue with a fresh water-damped cloth. Do NOT use cleaners that contain ammonia, bleach, or other general-purpose cleaning agents. These cleaners may damage the surface finish of your products.
