  • How to Clean an ActivPanel

    Please follow the steps below when cleaning your ActivPanel:

    • Switch off the ActivPanel and disconnect the power cable.
    • Shut down the attached computer and disconnect its power cable.
    • Do not use any liquid or spray cleaner when wiping the device.We recommend mixing a solution of 50% isopropanol and 50% water in a spray bottle and spraying this onto a micro-fiber or 100% cotton cloth. Wipe the glass surface gently; do not spray the solution onto the ActivPanel. Doing so could saturate the electronics and cause damage to the device. Only a small amount of the solution is needed to clean and sanitize the glass. 
    • Do not use volatile solvents (such as alcohol, rosin, and toluene) to clean the ActivPanel. These types of chemicals might damage the housing.
    • Do not use abrasive cleaners.
    • Do not apply pressure to the screen.
    • Allow the glass to air dry.

    Please follow the steps below when cleaning the bezel and remote control:

    •  Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.
    • If the remote control or bezel is dirty to the point where you cannot simply dry wipe it, please lightly dampen the cleaning fabric with clean water and wipe it.
    • Use only lightly dampened fabric to avoid malfunction and possibly permanent damage to electronic parts.
    • Finally, wipe the ActivPanel dry with a dry micro-fiber cloth or 100% cotton cloth.

    Please ensure that those with access to the ActivPanel are aware of the cleaning procedure.
