Inspect the monitor, batteries, battery charger, and
accessories
Before cleaning, thoroughly inspect the monitor and all accessories for any signs of
damage, cracks, or improper mechanical function of the keys or connectors. While gently
bending and flexing the cables, inspect for damage, cracks, cuts, abrasions, extreme
wear, exposed wires, or bent connectors. Confirm that the connectors are securely
seated. Remove damaged items from use and report damage or improper function to
your service department. At least every 12 months, be sure to thoroughly inspect the
battery charger case and power cord for damage or extreme wear.
Clean the monitor, batteries, and battery charger

approved cleaning solutions listed in “Approved cleaning solutions” on page 46. Do
not use any solution or solution with similar constituents listed in “Prohibited cleaning
solutions” on page 46.
a. Do not allow cleaning solution to accumulate anywhere on the device.
b. Inspect to ensure no cleaning liquid is present in connector openings, latches, or
crevices.

with a clean soft cloth dampened with water.
3. Thoroughly dry all surfaces with warm air.
