Cleaning procedures
Follow the procedures in this section to safely clean your tablet.
WARNING! To prevent electric shock or damage to components, do not attempt to clean your tablet while it
is turned on:
Turn off the tablet.
Disconnect external power.
Disconnect all powered external devices.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to internal components, do not spray cleaning agents or liquids directly on
any tablet port surface. Liquids dripped on the surface can permanently damage internal components. Close
all ports and I/O doors.
Cleaning the display
Gently wipe the display using a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with an alcohol-free glass cleaner. Be sure that
the display is dry before closing the display.
Cleaning the sides and cover
To clean and disinfect the sides and cover, use a soft microfiber cloth or chamois moistened with one of the
cleaning solutions listed previously or use an acceptable germicidal disposable wipe.
NOTE: When cleaning the cover of the tablet, use a circular motion to aid in removing dirt and debris.
Traveling with your tablet
For best results, follow these traveling and shipping tips:
●
Prepare the tablet for traveling or shipping:
◦
Back up your information.
◦
Remove all external media cards, such as memory cards.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the tablet, damage to a drive, or loss of information,
remove the media from a drive before shipping, storing, or traveling with a drive.
◦
Turn off and then disconnect all external devices.
◦
Shut down the tablet.
●
Take along a backup of your information. Keep the backup separate from the tablet.
●
When traveling by air, carry the tablet as hand luggage; do not check it in with the rest of your bags.
CAUTION: Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include
airport walk-through devices and security wands. Airport conveyer belts and similar security devices
that check carry-on baggage use X-rays instead of magnetism and do not damage drives.
●
In-flight tablet use is at the discretion of the airline. If you plan to use the tablet during a flight, check
with the airline in advance.
●
If you are shipping the tablet, use suitable protective packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”
●
If the tablet has a wireless device installed, such as an 802.11b/g device, a Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM) device, or a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) device, the use of these devices
