Computer Operating Guidelines, Routine Care and Shipping Preparation

Turn off the computer before you do either of the following:

Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as 
needed. Using cleaning products may discolor or damage the 
finish.

Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the 
computer. Lint, dust, and other foreign matter can block the 
vents and limit the airflow.

Optical Drive Precautions

Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or 
cleaning the optical drive.

Operation

Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to 
malfunction during reading.

Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature, as 
condensation may form inside the unit. If the temperature 
suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one hour 
before you turn off the power. If you operate the unit 
immediately, it may malfunction while reading.

Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high 
humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, or direct 
sunlight.

Cleaning

Clean the panel and controls with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth 
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Never spray 
cleaning fluids directly on the unit.

Avoid using any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzene, 
which may damage the finish.

Safety

If any object or liquid falls into the drive, immediately unplug the 
computer and have it checked by an authorized HP service provider.
