When cleaning, make sure that no liquid enters the device since it can cause mal‐ functions. Note Directly spraying switches such as key-operated switches can cause long-term contact problems. In such locations, it is better to spray a cloth with disinfectant and wipe the site to be disinfected. Note In general, make sure only to use disinfectants that are approved for use on painted and plastic surfaces in dental and medical environments. Damage can arise to paint surfaces as well as plastics due to the variety of medi‐ cines and chemicals used in the dentist's practice. Tests have shown that no one hundred percent surface protection can be found for all materials that are available in the marketplace. As damage to the surface is very much dependent on the exposure time, it is vital that the affected areas are wiped down immediately with a moist cloth. 6.1.1 Manual cleaning Any residue arising from disinfectants can be cleaned to a certain degree on painted and plastic surfaces with neutral, nonabrasive rinses and cleansers. New painted surfaces that do not cause water to bead can be cleaned with water and nonabrasive, mild cleansers. Distressed paints with less gloss that are darker and unclear are first cleaned as described above and preserved with conventional paint care agents. Apply the paint care product with a lint-free cloth in a circular motion. Then repolish with a pad or cloth until the surface shines. 6.1.2 Machine cleaning Not applicable. 43/55 Instructions for use GENTLEray 980 | US 6 Care | 6.2 Machine disinfection 6.2 Machine disinfection 6.2.1 Manual disinfection Note Only when the device is turned off.

Recommended safe distance: d = [3.5/3V] P d= [3.5/3] P m for 80 MHz to 800 MHz d= [7/3] P m for 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz with P as the rated power of the transmitter in Watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer, and d as the recommended safe distance in meters (m). The field strength of stationary ra‐ dio transmitters should be less than the conformance level at all fre‐ quencies in an on-site checka.b Disturbances are possible close to devices that have the following symbol. The field strength of stationary transmitters such as base stations of mobile tele‐ phones (cellular/cordless), mobile land radio devices, amateur radio stations, AM and FM radio and television broadcasters cannot be theoretically predetermined. To determine the electromagnetic environment of stationary transmitters, a study of the location should be considered. When the measured field strength at the location where the machine is used exceeds the above conformity level, the machine should be watched to ensure that it is functioning properly. If it is observed that the machine is unsuitable for use, additional measures may be required, such as a different alignment or another location for the machine. b Within the frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the field strength should be less than 3V/m. a Note: These guidelines may not be applicable in every case.
