Wet a soft cloth with water or a diluted kitchen cleanser (neutral), wring the cloth out thoroughly, and wipe the dirty area gently. Using a detergent other than a neutral kitchen cleanser (e.g., a weak alkali cleanser) may adversely affect painted surfaces.

CAUTION

Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol since it may adversely affect the surface causing discoloration, etc. Do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to the surface.

Do not apply water or detergent directly to the computer, since liquid may enter inside of the computer and cause malfunction or damage.

When Using the Computer with a Reduced Screen Resolution

When setting the screen resolution to a resolution below the LCD’s resolution, e.g. 1024 × 768 pixels, the images appearing on the screen will be stretched. As a result, the characters displayed may appear blurred. This is normal, and not indicative of a malfunction.

To display large characters with no blurring

Try the following steps while keeping the LCD in its resolution (1400 × 1050). To display enlarged font sizes in applications such as Internet Explorer:

Use the display enlargement function provided by the specific software application.

To display enlarged desktop icons, title bar and cursor or magnify the specific part of the screen : Use “Icon Enlarger” or “Loupe Utility”.
