Cleaning your equipment
Follow these general rules when cleaning the outside of your computer and
its components:
mUse a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid
getting moisture in any openings.
mDon’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.

Cleaning the computer case

To c le an the case, do the following:
1Turn off the computer completely and then disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not
the cord.)
2Wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water.

Cleaning the monitor

To c le an the screen, put household glass cleaner on a soft cloth and wipe the
screen. Don’t spray the cleaner directly on the screen, because the liquid
might drip into the monitor or computer.

Cleaning the mouse

The mouse contains a small ball that must roll smoothly for the mouse to
work properly. You can keep this ball free of dirt and grease by using the
mouse on a clean, lint-free surface and cleaning it occasionally.
You need a few cotton swabs and a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.
