Cleaning the Keyboard

Caution
12. Twist the plastic ring in a clockwise direction to engage it and lock the mouse
ball in place.
Inspect the work area where the mouse rolls. If you are using a mouse pad that has
a cloth surface, clean it with a lint brush. If the mouse pad surface is plastic, wipe it
with the damp cloth.
Your mouse should roll smoothly across the mouse pad or desk surface. If it does
not, try cleaning the mouse and the mouse pad or desk surface again. Note that
some desk surfaces are so smooth that there is not enough friction for the mouse
ball to roll properly. Consider using a mouse pad if you find that the desk surface is
too slick.
If your keyboard becomes dirty, use an aerosol can of air with a strawlike
extension to blow dust, lint, and trapped particles from under the keyboard surface
and from under the keys.
If you spill a liquid on the keyboard, perform the following steps immediately:
1. Close all applications and windows that appear on the screen.
2. Power-down the computer.
3. Disconnect the keyboard from its connector on the back panel of the system
unit.
Always remove the keyboard connector from the back of the system unit carefully
to avoid breaking or damaging the pins inside the cable end.
4. Turn the keyboard upside down and let the fluid drain out completely.
5. After the fluid has drained, turn the keyboard rightside up and reconnect it to
the system unit.
If the keyboard does not work properly after you have followed these steps, take it
to a qualified service provider for a thorough cleaning.
