G-2 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.
