Appendix B. Caring for your computer
This chapter provides information to help maintain your computer on a day-to-day
basis to ensure proper computer operation.
Basics
Here are some basic points about keeping your computer functioning properly:
v
Keep your computer in a clean, dry environment. Make sure it rests on a flat,
sturdy surface.
v
Do not place items on top of the monitor or cover any of the vents in the monitor
or computer. These vents provide air flow to keep your computer from
overheating.
v
Keep food and drinks away from all parts of your computer. Food particles and
spills might make the keyboard and mouse sticky and unusable.
v
Do not get the power switches or other controls wet. Moisture can damage these
parts and cause an electrical hazard.
v
Always disconnect a power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
Cleaning your computer
It is a good practice to clean your computer periodically to protect the surfaces and
ensure trouble-free operation.
Attention
Be certain to turn off the computer and monitor power switches before
cleaning the computer and monitor screen.
Computer and keyboard
Use only mild cleaning solutions and a damp cloth to clean the painted surfaces of
the computer.
Monitor screen
Do not use abrasive cleaners when cleaning the surface of the monitor screen. The
screen surface is easily scratched, so avoid touching it with pens, pencil points, and
erasers.
To clean the screen surface, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth, or blow on the
screen to remove grit and other loose particles. Then use a soft cloth moistened
with a nonabrasive liquid glass cleaner.
Mouse
If the pointer on the screen does not move smoothly with the mouse, you might
need to clean the mouse.
