6. Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your Trio 3 Pro monitor:
- Cleaning the Screens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screens. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or ammonia-based solutions, as these can damage the display surface.
- General Cleaning: For the exterior, use a slightly damp cloth. Ensure no moisture enters the ports or internal components.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the monitors and store them in a protective sleeve or case to prevent scratches and impacts. The built-in cover provides initial protection.
