You should handle and clean it the same way you deal with other household electronic devices. #### Handling * Aranet devices are not impact-resistant; do not drop or hit it. * Aranet devices are not waterproof; do not use it in high humidity environments (greater than 85%). * Do not leave Aranet devices in direct sunlight. This can damage the E-ink screen * Do not expose Aranet devices to strong electromagnetic fields. * Aranet devices are intended for use at temperatures 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F). Exposure to lower temperatures can damage the device. #### Cleaning You can clean your Aranet device with lukewarm water and mild soap. Mix some soap and water in a bucket, clean the case using a slightly wet soft sponge or microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the material and water drops entering the case. Make sure your detergent has no harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic and sensor, such as white spirits or Clorox. #### Disinfecting Alcohol solutions (alcohol / purified water) or wipes with at least 70 per cent alcohol are effective for the sanitization of the Aranet case. First, clean the surface with soap and water as described above. Apply the alcohol solution and let it sit on the surface for at least 30 seconds to disinfect. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. You can use low-power household UV-disinfectors for Aranet4 disinfection, too. Follow the UV-disinfector instructions and do not overexpose Aranet4 to UV radiation. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
