Caring for Your PC System
Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure continuing excellent
performance from your Atari PC.
Hardware Care
• Set up your system on a sturdy, level surface away from dust,
grease, extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, moisture, and
high humidity.
• Avoid smoking near your system and keep liquids away from the
components. Don't let small items drop between the keys on the
keyboard.
• Always switch off your computer and peripherals before connect­
ing or disconnecting components.
• When you switch off the computer, wait at least ten seconds before
switching it on again.
• Switch off your system before cleaning it. Clean only the outside
of the components, using a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do
not use cleansers, abrasives, or solvents.
• To ship or store your system, repack it in the original packing mate­
rials. Replace protective inserts in the disk drives.
Software Care
• Switch on your computer before inserting disks into the disk
drives. Remove the disks before switching off the computer.
• Insert and remove disks from the drive only when you're sure
the drive's busy light is off.
• Store your disks upright in their protective envelopes away from
extreme heat, moisture, direct sunlight, and sources of
magnetism (monitor, TV, electric motor, telephone, and so on).
• Never touch a disk's magnetic media. Don't bend disks or use
paper clips on them.
