General Maintenance
Caring for the Touchscreen
The touchscreen is covered with a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive coating on the inside.
The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating. The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
• mustard, ketchup
• sodium hydroxide
• concentrated caustic solutions
• benzyl alcohol
• concentrated acids
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (WA6113).
These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.
Do not to expose the touchscreen to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. If this is unavoidable, use a
UV screen protector to extend the life of the screen.
Cleaning the Workabout Pro4
IMPORTANT Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean.
To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only your finger or the stylus (pen) supplied with your Workabout Pro4.
• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The Workabout Pro4 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits, aircraft de-icing fluid, and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
• Exposure to aircraft de-icing fluids can degrade the plastics on the Workabout Pro4. If the Workabout Pro4 is used near aircraft de-icing environments, regular rinsing with water is recommended.
• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.
