Ensuring PC Card Support and Operation
The optional PC Card adapter is used with devices based on standards developed by the
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). Windows NT,
Windows 95, and Windows 98 provide support for PC Card devices.
To ensure proper operation of PC Card devices with a system running Windows NT, make
sure the device drivers that control PC Card device operation are set to start correctly. Do this
before using the PC Card adapter, or anomalous behavior may result. Go to Devices in the
Control Panel and set the Pcmcia and Atdisk devices to start as System devices. Restart the
system after making these changes.
NOTE
You must shut down the system before inserting a PC Card device in the PC Card adapter.
When you restart the system, Windows NT will recognize the PC Card device.
See the operating system documentation and Help for more information on PC Card device
support.

How To Clean
Mouse
On the bottom of the mouse, a retaining ring holds the tracking ball in
place. Remove the retaining ring and turn the mouse over; the tracking
ball will fall out. Blow gently into the opening. Clean the tracking ball
and rollers with a cotton swab and alcohol. Replace the tracking ball and
the retaining ring.
Keyboard
Dust with a dry cloth. Aerosol cleaners are commercially available to
remove the dust between the keys of the keyboard. Never allow moisture
on the keyboard or the surface beneath the keys.
Exterior Surfaces
Clean the exterior surfaces of the base unit and the monitor screen with a
mild cleaning detergent and a clean cloth.
