To light the screen back up, simply press a button. Maintenance To clean the device, we recommend using a microfiber cloth to dust the device. Do not use harsh chemicals on the LCD screen as it can damage the screen over time. We do recommend using the premoistened screen wipes occasionally, if you need to clean the screen, and the cloth isnt enough. In order to extend the life of your pulsers it is important to know that the life of the wires is directly related to how much flexing, pulling and bending your pulser wires receive. Although we work very hard to make the pulsers and wires as durable as possible, there is no way to predict how long they will last. Any wire that is handled on a regular basis, especially by people who are stressed, will eventually wear out. Pulsers are considered consumable items and having spares on hand is highly recommended.
