Do not use a dry/wet (with water) cloth to wipe the display. We recommend cleaning the display with a soft cloth applied with isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol. Please do not use other types of chemicals.

Do not use solutions such as benzene or another thinner. A soft, dry cloth is recommended.

When oil accumulates on the surface of the touch pad, use a damp cloth with dish washing liquid to wipe the surface, or a compact cassette head cleaner to remove the oil. The cursor may not move well when the surface is not clean.

C D - R O M

Do not allow discs to become dirty or scratched.

Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.

Do not write on the surface of the disc with ball-point pen or other writing instrument.

If a disc gets dirty, after wiping the disc with a moist, soft cloth, wipe it with a dry cloth. Always wipe from the center toward the edge.

If the disc is brought from cold into a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc. Wipe this moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.

Cleaning the disc using a disc cleaner (LF-K022DC) is recommended once every 2 or 3 months.
