Routine Computer Care and Shipping Preparation
Turn off the computer before you do either of the following:
Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp
cloth as needed. Using cleaning products may discolor
or damage the finish.
Occasionally clean the air vents on the front and back
of the computer. Lint and other foreign matter can
block the vents and limit the airflow.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or
cleaning your CD-ROM drive.
Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it
to malfunction during reading.
Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature,
as condensation may form inside the unit. If the temperature
suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one
hour before you turn off the power. If you operate the unit
immediately, it may malfunction while reading.
Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high
humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, or
direct sunlight.
Clean the panel and controls with a soft, dry cloth or a soft
cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Never spray cleaning fluids directly on the unit.
Avoid using any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzene,
which may damage the finish.
If any object or liquid falls into the drive, immediately unplug
the computer and have it checked by an authorized Compaq
service provider.
