Cleaning the Keyboard
Occasionally, you should clean the keyboard to free it of dust and lint
particles that may be trapped under the keys. The easiest way to do this it to
blow trapped dirt from the keys using an aerosol keyboard cleaner which is
usually supplied with a straw-like extension for hard-to-reach places.
If you spill liquid on the keyboard, follow the steps below.
1. Shut down the computer and disconnect the keyboard.
2. Turn the keyboard upside down for the liquid to drain out. Allow the
keyboard to dry overnight before trying to use it again.
3. After verifying that the system is off, reconnect the keyboard to the
computer.
If the keyboard fails to work after draining, contact Technical Support.
Cleaning the Monitor Screen
Use a soft cloth and window cleaner to clean the monitor screen. Squirt a
little cleaner on the cloth and wipe the screen with the cloth.
Caution!
NEVER spray directly on the
monitor screen.
