Getac Cleaning Guidelines

  • Wear disposable gloves made of latex when cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.
  • Remove cables, close all port covers & doors to prevent solution ingress.
  • Power off your notebook and tablet before cleaning and unplug the power cord along with other connected devices.
  • It is recommended to use an Isopropyl Alcohol 70% and 30% water solution.
  • Use a clean cloth to dry the surface. Do not use materials such as paper towels or toilet paper.
  • Extra attention should be given to screw holes, unflattened areas, strips, and finger touchpoints. Unplugged cables should also be wiped down.
  • Although our rugged products are IP65 rated, please do not spray any sanitizer liquids directly onto the display, cooling vents, or keyboards. Use a dry cloth or cleaning wipes as previously recommended.
  • Ensure the disinfected surfaces are thoroughly dried before turning the device back on after cleaning. Wait until there is no visible moisture on the surfaces of the product before powering it on.
  • Clean your hands after removing your gloves.
