isopropyl alcohol to remove streaks or smears. Use a soft, clean cloth to clean the display. Do not use

External Power Connector The external power connector may sometimes be exposed to moisture

ports for damage or contamination, and make sure their covers are attached and closed when not in
use. The I/O covers can be replaced without returning the unit for service. Contact your local support
person for more information.
PC Card Door and Connector Whenever possible, make sure this door is closed and latched
