Computer operating guidelines and routine care
Follow these guidelines to properly set up and care for the computer:
●
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and
cold.
●
Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance on all
vented sides of the computer to permit the required airflow.
●
Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes.
●
Never operate the computer with any of the access panels removed.
●
Do not place computers so near each other that they are subject to each other's recirculated or
preheated air.
●
If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation
must be provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still
apply.
●
Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.
●
Never cover the ventilation slots with any type of material.
●
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software,
including sleep states.
●
When cleaning the computer turn off power to the computer and unplug the power cord before
you do any 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.
◦
Do not use cleaners that contain any petroleum based materials such as benzene, thinner,
or any volatile substance to clean the screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the
computer.
◦
Wipe the screen with a soft, clean antistatic cloth. For more difficult cleaning situations, use
a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol. Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the
