Best Way to Clean an Automotive Device and USB Port Ends

Automotive devices are constructed of high-quality materials and do not require user maintenance other than cleaning.

The outer casing of the devices (not the touch screen) can be cleaned using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Ensure that once cleaned, the device's casing is wiped dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components.

To clean the touch screen use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner if needed. When cleaning, apply the liquid to the cloth, and gently wipe the touch screen.

To clean the USB port ends on a USB cable and/or vehicle power cable, use a can of compressed air.  Aim the can of compressed air at the port. Direct the small tube at the micro/mini USB port on your cable.  Do not put the tube in the port. This gives any dust in the USB port a place to escape.  Don't tip the can, this can cause the liquid to come out of the tube.

For BC 35 and the BC 40 ONLY (Backup cameras) - isopropyl alcohol can be used to clean the lenses.

Our devices shouldn’t require a lot of cleaning but the above information should allow your device to stay clean on a constant basis.
