Computer Maintenance and Storage

Maintaining Your Computer

Follow these guidelines to help maintain the condition and performance of your computer.

Turn off the computer when you are not using it.

Charge the batteries daily or whenever their capacity is low.

Operate the computer within the recommended temperature ranges of -23°C to +60°C (32°F to +140°F).

Care and Cleaning

Physical Inspection

Periodically inspect the computer and accessories for wear, damage, loose or missing

parts. Identifying and correcting potential problems early can help reduce the need to return the unit for service.

Outside Case

Like all tools, the outside of the computer will get dirty with use. The case is made of painted

Magnesium and polycarbonate blend (plastic) doors and covers. These areas can be cleaned with a solution of
one part Formula 409™ and one part water. Follow the procedure below.

To clean the outside case

1. Disconnect external power and turn off the computer.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Using a soft, dry cloth (do not use paper products because they can scratch the surface, add a small amount

of cleaning solution to the cloth and clean the computer case.

4. Wipe off any excess liquid with a soft cloth.

5. Reinstall the battery.

Display

Periodically inspect the display to make sure the brightness function is operating properly and that all

pixels are operational.

To clean your touch screen

To clean the display assembly, use the same cleaning solution and procedure described earlier for the outside
case. In some cases, you can use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to remove streaks or smears. Use a soft,
clean cloth to clean the display. Do not use paper products because they can scratch the screen.
