Computer operating guidelines and routine care

Follow these guidelines to properly set up and care for the computer and monitor:
HP recommends a 17 mm clearance from the fins on the rear panel for heat dissipation.
●
Keep the HP RP2 Retail System away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of
●
heat and cold.
Never operate the computer with any access panels removed.
●
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they
●
are subject to each other's re-circulated 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 RP2 Retail System.
●
Never cover the fins on the rear panel of the computer with any type of material.
●
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software,
●
including sleep states.
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 fins on the rear panel to keep them free of lint, dust, and other
◦
foreign matter that may inhibit heat dissipation from the fins.

Touch screen maintenance

Keep your display and touch sensor clean. The touch sensor requires very little maintenance. HP
recommends that you periodically clean the glass touch sensor surface. Be sure to turn off your
display before cleaning. Typically, an isopropyl alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50 is the best
cleaning agent for your touch sensor. It is important to avoid using any caustic chemicals on the touch
sensor. Do not use any vinegar-based solutions.
Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty cloths. Always dampen the cloth and
then clean the sensor. Be sure to spray the cleaning liquid onto the cloth, not the sensor, so that drips
do not seep inside the display or stain the bezel.
