in time, accumulate a coating
of dust, and dust on the LCD
tends to dim the picture.
Wipe the LCD carefully to prevent
scratching, using tissue paper and
an LCD cleaner. To remove dirt or
salt deposits, use an LCD cleaner,
wiping slowly with tissue paper so
as to dissolve the dirt or salt.
Change paper frequently so the
salt or dirt will not scratch the LCD.
Do not use commercial cleaners to
clean the display unit; they can
remove paint and markings or
deform the equipment.
