3 Maintenance Cleaning Luminaire, Rigid Headband, And Fiberoptic Cable Exterior surfaces of luminaire, rigid headband, and fiberoptic cable can be wiped clean with any of these solutions: •

10% bleach solution

•

70% isopropyl alcohol

•

Mild soap

•

Cavicide wipes

Fiberoptic Cable Wipe the ends of the fiberoptic cable clean with a cloth dampened with alcohol. Allow to dry before use. Avoid scratching or striking ends of fiberoptic cable. Light transmission losses can result. To inspect fiberoptic cable for light transmission losses, remove from light source and headlight assembly. Hold one end of fiberoptic cable up to room lighting. Examine other end. Replace fiberoptic cable if 25% or more of end area is dark. Caution Verify that ends of the fiberoptic cable are clean. High intensity light will be absorbed by any residue (including cleaning and disinfecting solutions) on the surface of the fiberoptic. Absorbed light will overheat the residue causing damage to the fiberoptic cable.
