9 Maintenance
It is important to perform regular maintenance to keep your tablet in optimal condition. This chapter provides
instructions for updating programs and drivers, steps to clean the tablet, and tips for traveling with (or
shipping) the tablet.
Updating programs and drivers
HP recommends that you update your programs and drivers on a regular basis. Updates can resolve issues
and bring new features and options to your tablet. For example, older graphics components might not work
well with the most recent gaming software. Without the latest driver, you would not be getting the most out
of your equipment.
Go to http://www.hp.com/support to download the latest versions of HP programs and drivers. In addition,
register to receive automatic notications when updates become available.
If you would like to update your programs and drivers, follow these instructions:
1. Type support in the taskbar search box, and then select the HP Support Assistant app.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Cleaning your tablet
Use the following products to safely clean your tablet:
●
Dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride 0.3 percent maximum concentration (for example, disposable
wipes, which come in a variety of brands)
●
Alcohol-free glass-cleaning uid
●
Solution of water and mild soap
●
Dry microber cleaning cloth or a chamois (static-free cloth without oil)
●
Static-free cloth wipes
CAUTION: Avoid strong cleaning solvents that can permanently damage your tablet. If you are not sure that
a cleaning product is safe for your tablet, check the product contents to make sure that ingredients such as
alcohol, acetone, ammonium chloride, methylene chloride, and hydrocarbons are not included in the product.
Fibrous materials, such as paper towels, can scratch the tablet. Over time, dirt particles and cleaning agents
can get trapped in the scratches.
