MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
Conduct regular maintenance as described below to insure clear copies at all times. (1) Cleaning the writing surface.
If the writing surface is dirty, use a damp cloth to clean it off. In case of severe build­up, use a neutral cleaner diluted in water. Be sure the sheet is completely dry before operating the equipment again.
(2) Cleaning the accessory tray and frame.
Use a damp cloth to clean off any residue from markers on the accessory tray and frame.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
<FOR SAFE USE>
1. Avoid placing the board in hot or cold areas where it is exposed to direct sunlight or next to an air conditioning duct.
2. When using sticky tape on the surface of the writing surface to attach paper originals, be sure to remove it at once when finished. Moreover, after removing it, wipe the writing surface clean. Do not hit or pierce the panel with any hard or sharp objects.
3. Do not leave writing or marks on pages 1-4 for a long time since it may become difficult to erase.
4. As thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc., may discolor or mark the main unit and the writing surface never use such chemicals when cleaning.
5. After use, be sure to turn OFF the power switch. In addition, when it is not to be used for a long time, make certain that the plug is pulled form the outlet.
6. Always use the correct type of marker. Be careful not to use other markers as the panel may be damaged or, in some cases, the ink may be difficult to remove.
7. To ensure all information will be printed, leave a slight margin around the edge of the panel as indicated below.
