Chapter Eight - Maintenance and Service
Cleaning
ALWAYS turn OFF the power, unplug the power cord and remove the battery before
cleaning.
The exterior of the system and display may be wiped with a clean, soft, and lint-free cloth. If
there is difficulty removing dirt, apply non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner to the
cloth and wipe.
An air gun is recommended for cleaning water and dust. For salty water please clean with
fresh water then blow-dry with an air gun. Be sure not to turn the computer up-side down
while there is water being applied.
