Cleaning Your Notebook’s Exterior
Using a damp, lint-free cloth, clean the keyboard, the
Notebook’s exterior, and other external parts 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
compressed 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: 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
outlets and remove the battery.
Caution: Do not use household cleaning solvents because they
will damage the finish on your Notebook.
Caution: Do not use liquids of any kind on the keyboard as they
may permanently damage your keyboard.
Caution: 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.
