Cleaning
ALWAYS turn OFF the power, unplug the power cord and remove the battery
before cleaning.
The exterior of the system and display may be wiped with a clean, soft, and
lint-free cloth. If there is difficulty removing dirt, apply non-ammonia,
non-alcohol based glass cleaner to the cloth and wipe.
An air gun is recommended for cleaning water and dust. For salty water please
clean with fresh water then blow-dry with an air gun. Be sure not to turn the
computer upside-down while there is water being applied.
