Cleaning your tablet
Your tablet is treated with Sureshield, an antimicrobial agent which helps protect the tablet. The quick release
pins, camera lens, camera flash cover, bar-code scanner cover, screws, screen, and HP logo are not treated
with Sureshield.
To preserve the antimicrobial coating, store your tablet in a cool, dry place and do not freeze it. Avoid heat,
sparks, open flame, strong acids, ammonia, oxidizing agents, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.
Use one of the following chemical mixtures to safely clean your tablet:
●
Benzyl-C12-18-alkyldimethyl ammonium chlorides <1% with quaternary ammonium compounds,
C12-14-alkyl[(ethylphenyl)methyl]dimethyl, chlorides <1%
●
Isopropanol 10%–20%, 2-Butoxyethanol 1%–4%, benzyl-C12-18-alkyldimethyl ammonium chlorides
<0.125%, and quaternary ammonium compounds, C12-18-alkyl [(ethylphenyl) methyl] dimethyl,
chlorides <0.125%
●
Isopropanol 30%–60%, benzyl-C12-18-alkyldimethyl ammonium chlorides 0.1%–1%, and quaternary
ammonium compounds, C12-18-alkyl [(ethylphenyl) methyl] dimethyl 0.1%–1%
●
