CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
Tablet-PC, Keyboard, and Display
CAUTION: Before you clean your Tablet-PC, disconnect the Tablet-PC from the electrical outlet and, if necessary, the optional media base or battery slice. Remove any installed batteries. Clean your Tablet-PC with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.
Use a can of compressed air to remove dust from between the keys on the keyboard.
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the Tablet-PC or display, do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the display. Only use products specifically designed for cleaning displays, and follow the instructions that are included with the product.
Moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with either water or a display cleaner, and wipe the display until it is clean.
Moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water and wipe the Tablet-PC and keyboard. Do not allow water from the cloth to seep between the touch pad and the surrounding palm rest.
Touch Pad
Shut down and turn off your Tablet-PC.
Disconnect any attached devices from the Tablet-PC and from their
electrical outlets.
If applicable, undock your Tablet-PC from the optional media base or
battery slice.
Moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water, and wipe it gently across the
surface of the touch pad. Do not allow water from the cloth to seep
between the touch pad and the surrounding palm rest.
Optical Drives and Optical Drive Media
NOTICE: Always use compressed air to clean the lens in an optical drive, and follow the instructions that come with the compressed-air product. Never touch the lens in the drive.
NOTE: Unless you purchased either an optional external D/Bay or an optional media base with your Tablet-PC, you may not be able to use optical drives or optical drive media with your Tablet-PC.
If you notice problems, such as skipping, with the playback quality of your optical media, try cleaning the disc.
Hold the disc by its outer edge. You can also touch the inside edge of the
center hole.
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the surface, do not wipe in a circular motion around the disc.
With a soft, lint-free cloth, gently wipe the bottom of the disc (the
unlabeled side) in a straight line from the center to the outer edge of the
disc.
For stubborn dirt, try using water or a diluted solution of water and mild soap. You can also purchase commercial products that clean discs and provide some protection from dust, fingerprints, and scratches. Cleaning products for CDs are also safe to use on DVDs.
