16 Care and maintenance

• The screen surface should only be cleaned
with a soft, dry cleaning cloth (e.g. microfi-
bre cloth).
• If significant soiling nevertheless occurs,
the screen surface can be cleaned with a
slightly moist soft cloth.
Never spray cleaning fluid on the surface
of the screen! If cleaning fluid penetrates
into the frame of the screen, the compo-
nents there will be damaged beyond
repair.

16.1 Firmware updates

The firmware version (V.10 in the example) of
the flash unit is shown in the start screen

undergoes a physical change when the
device has not been used for a long time.
For this reason it is necessary to switch the
device every three months for approx.
10 mins. The power supplies must deliver
enough power so that flash standby lights up
no later than 1 min after switching on.

tings when delivered.
