CLEANING AND SANITIZING PANASONIC TOUGHBOOK COMPUTERS AND TOUGHPAD TABLETS.

APPLICATION AND TEST PROCEDURES

To keep your Toughbook® computer or Toughpad® tablet running for as long as you do, Panasonic rigorously tested these devices to see how many times they could be disinfected. The test procedure was to wipe each area on the device with the liquid solution with a pressure of 1 kg/cm2 for 10,000 times.

RECOMMENDED “WIPE” FORMS OF DISINFECTANTS

Panasonic recommends disinfectant wipes to avoid prolonged exposure to chemicals that can cause oxidation and paint discoloration, and break down the rubber that seals the devices. If the wipe form of these disinfectants is used and the surface is dried soon after application, the computer will be protected for years to come.
