If you clean and disinfect your QuickTalker Freestyle often, it’ll work like a charm and keep the germs off. Follow these steps to clean off the dirt first, then disinfect.

Before You Begin

Gather these supplies:

  • Protective gloves (plus a fresh pair for disinfecting)
  • Safety glasses
  • Cotton swabs
  • Two clean towels, preferably microfiber
  • Cleaning spray or wipes for electronics
  • Disinfectant wipes or spray
  • Liquid glass cleaner for touchscreens – lens wipes work too!

Clean Your Device

Note: Do not remove the protective case during this process.

  1. Put on your protective gloves and safety glasses.
  2. Turn off the device by pressing and holding the power button.
  3. Remove any large chunks of dirt or debris stuck to the device.
  4. Wipe down the device with a towel and electronic cleaner, or electronic wipes.
  5. Dip a cotton swab in cleaner, then use it to clean any tight spots the wipes couldn’t reach.
  6. Let the device dry completely.

Disinfect Your Device

  1. Change into a fresh pair of gloves, so no dirt gets back onto the device.
  2. Ensure the device is still off.
  3. Wipe surfaces with a fresh towel and disinfectant spray or disinfectant wipes.
  4. Leave the surfaces wet for at least four minutes. The disinfectant only works while it stays wet.
  5. Dip a cotton swab in disinfectant, then use it on any tight spots the towel or wipes couldn’t reach.
  6. Keep those spots wet for at least four minutes.
  7. Let the device air dry completely before using it.
  8. Wipe the touchscreen with liquid glass cleaner to remove any smudges.
