Caring for Your Notebook
General Maintenance
The best maintenance you can perform yourself is preventive. Try to keep the notebook as
clean as possible. Avoid using the notebook in dirty or dusty environments if possible. Be
careful to avoid getting dirt and dust in the floppy disk drive. Use a clean carrying bag
when you transport the notebook. Your Digital notebook dealer will be able to provide
purchasing information on the optional Digital notebook carrying case.
Try to keep the keyboard as clean as possible. Avoid spilling liquids on it. You can clean
the keyboard with a small computer vacuum to remove dust buildup that can impede key
motion.
Always keep the port covers closed when you’re not using the ports. This will prevent dust
from getting into the connector ports and possibly affecting electrical contacts when you
attach a device to the computer. You can occasionally use a vacuum to clean the ports.
Cleaning The Notebook
Cleaning The Case
If the computer case gets soiled you can clean it. Always make sure that the computer is
turned off and the AC adapter is disconnected before you clean the unit. Clean the case
with a soft, preferably lint-free, cloth. If necessary you can use a mild detergent.
