System Care and Maintenance Prevention of static electricity interference Interference from static electricity can damage electronic components in the system. The following measures help to reduce the likelihood of electrostatic discharge: •
Wipe the alphanumeric keyboard and monitor with lint-free tissue or a soft cloth dampened with anti-static spray on a monthly basis.
•
Spray carpets with anti-static spray because constant walking on carpets in or near the scanning room may be a source of static electricity.
