Caring for Your System

Before doing any cleaning of your system, make sure you turn off the system and
disconnect any external devices. When using a moistened cloth for cleaning, do not allow
any excess fluid to leak into the system, keyboard, or monitor. Wait until the system is
completely dry before you turn it on.

Cleaning Your System

Clean the outside of your system periodically with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Cleaning Your Mouse

If your mouse does not move smoothly or if the pointer jumps across the screen, the ball
inside the mouse may need cleaning. To clean the ball, do the following:
1. Turn the mouse over and remove the plate on the bottom.
2. Remove the rubber ball.
3. Clean the ball and rollers with a cotton swab lightly dampened with a mild detergent.
4. Replace the ball and plate.
