Caring for your LCD-PC
6.1
General Maintenance
The best maintenance is the preventive one. Keep the following in mind and perform the
maintenance at least once a month.
Keep the LCD-PC clean regularly.
Avoid transporting or using the computer in dirty or dusty environments. Use a clean container
when you transport the computer.
Avoid getting dirt and dust in the optical drive.
Avoid spilling liquids on the computer.
You can clean the keyboard with a small computer vacuum to remove dust buildup that can
impede key motion.
You can occasionally use a vacuum to clean the ports.
Make sure that the computer is turned off before unplugging it.
When you disconnect cords, remember to pull them by the plugs and not by the cords themselves.
This will prevent damage to the cords, plugs, ports, and jacks.
Perform system maintenance regularly. Windows provides tools for you to keep your LCD-PC
automatically.
Cleaning The LCD-PC
Cleaning The Case
If the LCD-PC case becomes dirty, you can clean it. Always make sure that the LCD-PC is turned off
and the AC adapter is disconnected before you do anything else. You can clean the case with a soft,
preferably lint-free, cloth. If necessary, you may use mild detergent.
Avoid any cleaner that contains abrasives, and DO NOT use cleaning solvents such as thinner,
benzene or isopropy1 alcohol-based products.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer.
Always spray the cleaner onto a cloth and then wipe the LCD-PC with the cloth. After cleaning,
allow 30 minutes drying time.

Caring for and Cleaning The LCD Display
LCD screens are delicate devices that need careful handling. Please pay attention to the following
advice:
When you are not using the LCD-PC, please keep it clean regularly just as you were using it.
Do not put your fingers or sharp objects directly on the surface and never spray any cleaner directly
onto the display.
Do not press the LCD display with large amount of force to prevent it from breaking.
The LCD display panel is covered with glass. If the glass gets dirty, you can clean it the same way
you would clean a computer monitor screen. Wipe the LCD surface gently with a clean, soft tissue
or a lint-free cloth, and if necessary apply some commercially available LCD cleaner on to the
tissue or cloth.
Warning!
Do not clean the screen with a cleaner that contains alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for
use with an LCD. Never spray cleaner directly onto the screen. Liquid could drip inside the computer
and cause an electrical shock.
