•Cleaning the Keyboard

•Cleaning the Display Screen

•Cleaning the TouchPad

•Caring for Your Presario Notebook

Give your Presario Notebook a safe home. If your Notebook is consistently exposed to direct sunlight, consider moving it. The heat from the sun shining on the display screen can reduce its performance and cause glare.

Always disconnect the power from your Notebook and dis- connect any other peripherals before attempting to clean your Notebook or any of its compo- nents.

Cleaning Your Notebook’s Exterior

Caution: When you shut down your Notebook, the power turns off. However, some electrical currents may still be flowing through the Notebook. To completely disconnect power from the Notebook, unplug the power and modem cables from the wall sockets and remove the battery.

Using a damp, lint-free cloth, clean the keyboard, the Notebook’s exterior, and other external parts on your Notebook.

Caution: Do not use household cleaning solvents because they will damage the finish on your Notebook.

Cleaning the Keyboard

You should clean the keyboard periodically to rid it of dust, lint, and any other foreign particles that may become trapped beneath the keys. Use a com- pressed can of air with a straw extension attached to blow air in and around the keys. Cleaning the keyboard prevents keys from sticking and jamming. It also makes typing a more pleasant experience.

Caution: Do not use liquids of any kind on the keyboard, as they may permanently damage your keyboard. Do not use a regular vacuum cleaner for cleaning the keyboard because you may deposit normal household debris on the surfaces rather than remove it.
