Cleaning and disinfecting rugged tablets

Steps to take to safely clean your MobileDemand rugged device:

  1. Turn off the device.
  2. Ensure the battery is properly installed. This prevents liquid from entering the device.
  3. Use a pre-moistened disinfectant wipe. If using a liquid solution, apply the cleaning solution to a sterile cloth and remove any excess liquid.
  4. Wipe all surfaces of the MobileDemand device with the sanitary cloth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
  5. Use a dry, sterile cloth to dry the device after cleaning.
  6. Use a cotton-tipped swab to clean between buttons or other recessed areas of the tablet.
  7. Allow the device to completely air dry before turning on the power and/or charging.
  8. The display can be wiped down with alcohol wipes, ensuring there is no pooling of liquid occurring around the edges of the display. Dry the display with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.
