4. General Maintenance
4.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The touchscreen can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and
is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the
touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic or crack the internal conduc-
tive coating. Protect the touchscreen from the following chemicals:
mustard,
sodium hydroxide,
concentrated caustic solutions,
benzyl alcohol, and
concentrated miner acids.
If touchscreens are used in harsh environments, apply disposable
screen protectors to dramatically extend the life of the touchscreen.
