If the case becomes dirty through constant use or handling, use only a damp, dust-free cloth for
cleaning. Do not use abrasives or solvents as these may mar or scratch the case. Use window
cleaner (alcohol/ammonia free) and a damp, dust-free cloth to clean the monitor; however, make
sure the monitor has been turned off first. Never apply the window cleaner directly to the monitor
screen. Always spray the cloth first; then wipe down the screen. Cleaning kits designed to clean
floppy disk drives, DVD, and CD-ROM drives are available at most computer stores and should
be used periodically.

To prevent normal electrical problems such as spikes or surges, install a power surge/filter
between the wall outlet and all of the connected components. If even one component is not
connected, the entire system could be at risk. You should note that some power strips are not
surge protectors but simply extension cords.
If your local area is subject to frequent electric power failures, Micron recommends attaching an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to the computer and monitor. A UPS will provide time to
save all data files and properly turn off the system.

Caution
If a storm enters your area, completely unplug the entire system from all electrical sources,
including telephone lines. Electricity from lightning can travel in on any line and destroy all
connected components.
