General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the device.
When you clean any single part or component for the device, please thoroughly
read and understand the details below.
1. We strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before
you start to clean any single components.
2. When you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.
3. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum
cleaner to absorb the dirt on the oor.
4. Never drop the components inside the device or get circuit board damp or
wet.
5. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you
use it for the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the
ingredients.
6. Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the device.
Cleaning Tools
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process
of cleaning your devices and peripherals, users can also use household items
to clean their devices and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may
need or want to use while cleaning your devices or peripherals. Keep in mind
that some components in your device may only be able to be cleaned using
a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be
mentioned in the cleaning.

- ix -
Preface
• Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a
component. Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most
hardware as well, we still recommend you to rub it with a piece of cloth.
• Water or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit
with some water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the device. Unknown
solvents may be harmful to the plastics parts.
• Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and
other particles out of the device can be one of the best cleaning
methods. Over time, these items can restrict the airow in a device and
cause circuitry to corrode.
• Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water
are excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard,
mouse, and other locations.
• Foam swabs: Whenever possible, it is better to use lint-free swabs such
as foam swabs.
Recommended Cleaning Procedures
1. Close all application programs
2. Close operating software
3. Turn off the equipment
4. Remove all peripherals
5. Disconnect the power cable
6. Proceed to clean.
