How do I Clean my Accent?

Cleaning and Disinfecting

NOTE: Never immerse your device in water!

 

Cleaning the Case

Before cleaning the case or the display, turn your device OFF.

Clean the case with a damp, lint-free cloth.  Damp means wrung out, never dripping.  Dry the case thoroughly before turning it ON.

Cleaning The Display

To clean the display, use a household window cleaner (e.g., Windex®) or a cleaner designated for a computer or flat screen TV or use rubbing alcohol. Lightly spray the screen. Dry thoroughly and polish with a lint-free cloth. 

Cleaning Keyguard Frames, Keyguards and Touchguides

All of these accessories can be removed from your case and washed in hot soapy water. Dry them thoroughly before putting them back on your device.

The best practice for regular cleaning is to dry accessories by hand, lay them on a dry towel and let them air dry for about 5 minutes or so before placing them back on your device.

 

Disinfecting

Do not use vinegar and water on the display screen!

To disinfect everything but the display screen, use a solution of vinegar and water (proportions =  ¼ cup vinegar to 1 cup water).  Wipe the case (not the disply) with a cloth dampened (wrung out, not dripping) in this mixture.  Wash the keyguard frame, keyguard and touchguide separately in a vinegar and water mixture. Allow all equipment to air dry.  Do not use vinegar and water on the display!  Use it only on the actual case.

 

What about drooling/saliva?

Any saliva should be wiped up immediately, especially on the touch screen or around any of the connectors. Use a lint-free damp cloth to wipe the device.

 

What about Spills, Rain Showers, Accidental Immersion?

If you spill liquid or any runny substance on your device; if you're caught in a downpour; or if the device is accidentally dropped in liquid, immediately dry the device as thoroughly as possible. Try using the device.  If it does not work, you must call the PRC Service Department.  Tell them what happened.  They may ask you to send in your device for servicing.
