Cleaning your convertible tablet
PC
Keeping your convertible tablet PC clean and the vents free from dust
helps keep your convertible tablet PC performing at its best. You may
want to gather these items and put together a convertible tablet PC
cleaning kit:
■ A soft, lint-free cloth
■ An aerosol can of air that has a narrow, straw-like extension
■ Cotton swabs
■ A DVD drive cleaning kit
Cleaning the exterior
Always turn off your convertible tablet PC and other peripherals before
cleaning any components. Also, remove the battery before cleaning any
components.
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your convertible tablet PC and other
parts of your system. Do not use household abrasive or solvent cleaners
because they can damage the finish on components.
Your convertible tablet PC is cooled by air circulated through the vents
on the case, so keep the vents free of dust. With your convertible tablet
PC turned off and unplugged, brush the dust away from the vents with
a damp cloth. Be careful not to drip any water into the vents. Do not
attempt to clean dust from the inside of your convertible tablet PC.
Warning When you shut down your convertible tablet PC, the power
turns off, but some electrical current still flows through your
convertible tablet PC. To avoid possible injury from
electrical shock, unplug the power cord, modem cable, and
network cable from the wall outlets.
