1.4.2. Maintenance
General cleaning of components is important to keep your system working
well. All components that have no wiring or cables are completely waterproof.

moisture.
NOTE: All components with wiring, cables or electrical connections are splash
proof. However, these components are NOT submersible.
NOTE: Never use strong solvents or abrasive materials to clean your scanner
components.
