Maintenance and troubleshooting

1. Maintenance
1.1 Repairs
In the event of damage to the device, please contact the distributor of the device.
Do not attempt to carry out any repairs yourself. This could damage the device and invalidate your warranty.
1.2 Cleaning the device
Clean the device regularly so you do not give bacteria the chance to spread.
It is best to remove dust with a dry, soft cloth. For minor stains on the casing, use a damp cloth. Do not use a product containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasive agents. Make sure no moisture can enter through the openings (such as: the microphone openings or the connectors). Any dirt near the connectors can be removed with a cotton bud.
To clean the screens, also use a dry cloth; do not use kitchen paper as this may cause tiny scratches. To remove grease or stains from the screens, it is recommended that you use cleaning agents specifically designed for cleaning screens (aerosol or wipes). Do not press too hard on the screens when cleaning.
Clean the keyboard with cleaning agents specifically intended for this purpose. Always use a damp cloth for this.
