Cleaning your tablet PC
Keeping your tablet PC clean and the vents free from dust helps keep your
system performing at its best. You may want to gather these items and put
together a tablet PC cleaning kit:
■
A soft, lint-free cloth
■
An aerosol can of air that has a narrow, straw-like extension
■
Isopropyl alcohol
■
Cotton swabs
■
A CD or DVD drive cleaning kit
Cleaning the exterior
Always turn off your tablet PC and other peripheral devices, then remove the
battery before cleaning any components.
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your tablet PC and other parts of your
system. Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the
finish on components.
Your tablet PC is cooled by air circulated through the vents on the case, so keep
the vents free of dust. With your tablet PC turned off and unplugged, brush
the dust away from the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful not to drip any
water into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust from the inside of your
tablet PC.
Cleaning the keyboard
You should clean the keyboard occasionally by using an aerosol can of air with
a narrow, straw-like extension to remove dust and lint trapped under the keys.
Warning When you shut down your tablet PC, the power turns off,
but some electrical current still flows through your
tablet PC. To avoid possible injury from electrical shock,
unplug the power cord and modem cable from the wall
outlets.
