Operating guidelines and routine care
Follow the guidelines below to properly set up and care for the computer:
●
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.
●
Never operate the computer with any access panels removed.
●
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place them so near each other that they are subject to
each other’s recirculated or preheated air.
●
If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be
provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above still apply.
●
Keep liquids away from the computer and hub.
●
Never cover the vents on the computer or hub with any type of material.
●
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including
Sleep states.
●
Turn off the computer and wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth as necessary. Using cleaning
products may discolor or damage the finish.

Touch screen maintenance
Keep your touch screen clean. The touch screen requires very little maintenance. HP recommends that you
periodically clean the glass surface. Be sure to turn off your display before cleaning. Typically, an isopropyl
alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50 is the best cleaning agent for your touch screen. It is important to
avoid using any caustic chemicals on the touch screen. Do not use any vinegar-based solutions.
Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty cloths. Always dampen the cloth and then
clean the sensor. Be sure to spray the cleaning liquid onto the cloth, not the sensor, so that drips do not seep
inside the display or stain the bezel.
MSR maintenance
To clean the MSR (magnetic stripe reader), swipe a standard cleaning card through the MSR a couple of times.
You can order a standard cleaning card online. You can also put a thin oil-free cloth around a credit card.
