5. System Care
5.1 Maintenance
The EyeLink 1000 system should require little maintenance under normal use.
If the IR mirror is dusted, it can be cleaned with the cleaning cloth we supplied.
If the mirror is dirty (e.g., smudged with finger prints), please apply some
cleaning solution we supplied and then wipe clean with the cloth. The forehead
rest and the chinrest pad may be wiped with a damp cloth if cleaning is
required. Additional replacement pads can be purchased; please contact SR
Research for details.
5.2 Storage and Transportation
Between uses, it is recommended that the EyeLink 1000 be left mounting on
the table. If the EyeLink 1000 system is not going to be used for an extended
period, you may wish to disconnect the cables from the computer and pack
them in the shipping case. The EyeLink 1000 high-speed frame grabber,
Ethernet card, as well as the optional Analog card, may be left inside the Host
PC, although it may be removed if this computer is going to be used for another
purpose, to prevent theft or loss.
Important: The Tower should only be held by the vertical posts and should
NEVER be held by the mirror or the components attached to the mirror.
We recommend you have somebody available to assist you mounting the head-
support Tower onto the table to prevent damages to the IR mirror or other parts
of the Tower.
For long-term storage, shipping, or transportation, it is recommended that the
EyeLink 1000 Tower mount or Desktop Mount and cables be stored in the
shipping box that you originally received the system in.
Store the shipping case above freezing and below 40°C, and avoid high-
humidity conditions which might cause water to condense within the Tower and
damage the optics. Be sure to follow the unpacking and installation instructions
when returning the packaged unit to operation (see the EyeLink 1000
Installation Guide).
If the EyeLink 1000 card is also to be packaged, remove it from the computer
and place it into its anti-static bag, then into its slot in the foam.
