Surface Pro 4

Care and cleaning

To keep your Surface looking and working great, follow these simple steps.

Touchscreen care

Scratches, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the performance of your touchscreen.

Here are some things you can do to help protect the screen:

 Clean it frequently. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen gently. You can dampen the

cloth with water or an eyeglass cleaner, but don’t apply liquids directly to your Surface. Don’t

use window cleaner or other chemical cleaners on your Surface.

 Keep it covered. Close the Cover while you’re in transit or not using your Surface.

 Keep it out of the sun. Do not leave your Surface in direct sunlight for a long time. Ultraviolet

light and excessive heat can damage the display.

Cover and keyboard care

The Type Cover for your Surface Pro 4 requires minimal care to function well. To clean the

keyboard, wipe it with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Don’t apply liquids

directly to the Cover.

For more info about safely cleaning and caring for your Surface, see Safety and regulatory

information.

Power cord care

Power cords, like any other metal wire or cable, can be weakened or damaged if repeatedly twisted

or bent in the same spot. Here are some things you can do to keep your power cord from being

damaged:

 Avoid twisting or pinching your power cord.

 Don’t wrap your power cord too tightly, especially around the power brick. Wrap it using loose

coils rather than tight angles.

 Inspect your power cord regularly, especially where it joins the power brick.

Avoid pulling on the power cord when unplugging your Surface. Gently removing the connector

from the charging connector can help prevent damage to your power cord.
