Disinfecting and Cleaning
The P14W should be disinfected before performing any service. The following procedure is only a recommendation.
Your hospital or company may have a different procedure to follow.
Caution: Before using any cleaning or disinfecting agent on the P14W, perform a spot check by wetting a small
area of the cabinet. Verify the agent does not discolor or deteriorate the cabinet.
1. The E29LEDA has been designed to withstand up to a 5% chlorine based disinfectant. Many alcohol and
ammonia based disinfectants have also been tested with success. Apply the cleaner or disinfectant per its
recommended instructions.
Note: Most disinfectants require a waiting time following application and prior to wipe-down.
2. The manufacturer recommends isopropyl alcohol for the cleaning of the LCD screen.
Checking Points to Consider
Dynamic picture adjustments to Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Tint are available using the IR Remote Control, Part
number PD108-420, using the SETUP/Picture menu.
1. Check the appearance of the replacement panel and circuit boards for both physical damage and part number
accuracy.
2. Check the model label. Verify model names and board model matches.
3. Check details of defective condition and history. Contact PDi with serial number for details.

Safety Checks
Leakage Current
After re-assembly of the unit, always perform a leakage test on all exposed conductive parts such as metal connectors,
chassis, and mount.
With the unit powered, the following circuit should be connected from earth ground to each exposed conductive part on
the repaired unit. A DMM is placed in parallel with this circuit to measure AC rms or DC voltage. If leakage currents are
greater than the maximum allowed, inspect the TV for insulation or component breakdowns.
The maximum allowed leakage current depends on the type of power the unit receives and whether the unit is within
reach of the patient bed/chair.
