Routine thin client care

Use the following information to properly care for your thin client:

Never operate the thin client with the outside panel removed.

Keep the thin client away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat and
cold. For information about recommended temperature and humidity ranges for the thin
client, see product specifications.

Keep liquids away from the thin client and keyboard.

Turn off the thin client and wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Using
cleaning products may discolor or damage the finish.
