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 -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F).
Care and Cleaning
Physical Inspection Periodically inspect the computer and accessories for wear, damage, or 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.
