cause a malfunction. Be especially careful when cleaning around the port for data output and the jack for the
probe cord.
Use only Ethanol for Disinfection (Ethanol 70~80 vol%) for disinfection. Any other type of solution could cause
cracking, cloudiness, discoloration or some similar kind of damage.
NOTE
• On rare occasions, static electricity produced by wiping the liquid crystal display with a dry cloth may
have some influence on the appearance of the display.

damage, deform or discolor the Root ZX mini. Be especially careful to avoid spilling formalin cresol
(FC) and sodium hypochlorite as they are quite strong. Wipe up any chemical spills immediately.
(Some chemicals may leave discoloration and spots even if they are immediately wiped up.)
