Maintenance
To Clean the LCD Panel
???When the screen becomes dirty, wipe it with an approved soft cloth.
The screen is specially treated to prevent dirt from adhering to the surface, so dirt can be removed easily using a dry cloth (use only the approved soft cloth).
Remove the dirt, water, etc. as soon as possible. Otherwise, the LCD panel is stained or changes in quality.
If the dirt does not come off easily, breathe on the surface and try again.
???Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface To improve the outdoor visibility of the display, a low reflection coating has been added. In order
20
to avoid scratches and peeling of this coating, an approved soft cloth has been included to wipe the LCD surface of this computer. Before using this computer, be sure to read the instructions provided below.
???Be sure to wipe the LCD display to remove fingerprints, etc., with the soft cloth.
???Do not wipe areas other than the LCD display with the soft cloth.
How to use the soft cloth
???Use the soft cloth when it is dry. Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth.
???First, lightly wipe foreign particles and dust adhering to the LCD display on one side of the soft cloth. Do not use force, since the LCD surface may be damaged with the foreign particles or dust.
Next, wipe off fingerprint, etc., with the other side of the soft cloth.
After wiping off foreign particles and dust, wash the soft cloth (refer to the following) to remove the
foreign particles and dust from the soft cloth.
???Clean the screen while the computer is powered off.
Cleaning the screen while the power is on may cause the computer to malfunction. Also, dirt on the screen is easier to see when the computer is powered off, and so is easier to clean.
???Wash the soft cloth when it becomes dirty. When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner (softener), or try to sterilize the cloth by boiling.
If the soft cloth is dirty, it may be ineffective in cleaning the screen, and in fact may cause dirt to adhere to the screen.
???Check the following to prevent the surface of the screen from being scratched.
???Are you using your finger or a digitizer pen to operate the screen?
???Is the surface clean?
???Is the soft cloth clean?
???Are you using the digitizer pen with the tip extended?
???Is the tip of the digitizer pen clean?
???Is you finger clean?
To Clean Areas Other Than the
LCD Panel
Wipe with a soft dry cloth such as gauze. When using detergent, dip a soft cloth in
CAUTION
???Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol since it may adversely affect the surface causing discoloration, etc. Do not use commercially- available household cleaners and cosmetics,
as they may contain components harmful to the surface.
???Do not apply water or detergent directly to the computer, since liquid may enter inside of the computer and cause malfunction or damage.
