2.3.1 Dock Contacts Cleaning Procedure

All exterior metal contacts/connectors exposed to spills, dirt or debris accumulation require periodic cleaning to ensure best performance during charging and data transmission.

Use a soft, lint-free dry cloth or lens tissue to clean the product (contacts and plastics). An antistatic cloth is preferable but you can also use a cotton cloth. Avoid wool, synthetic cloths or other materials that can cause electrostatic discharges.

If the contacts are very dirty, clean them with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted nonaggressive cleaning solution or a diluted isopropyl alcohol solution (20% maximum). A cotton swab may be used only on hard-to-reach contacts.

Clean the contacts when you see traces of dirt or when you experience solid connection issues between the terminal and its dock (device not charging or intermittent communications). It is however suggested to clean the contacts every 6 months (more often if the environment is dusty).

If the plastic areas are very dirty use only a cloth dampened with water.

CAUTION

Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive pads to clean electric contacts, scan windows or plastics.
