Cleaning the keyboard
Follow all safety precautions in General cleaning safety precautions on page 11 before cleaning the keyboard.
To clean the tops of the keys or the keyboard body, follow the procedures described in Cleaning the computer
case on page 11.
When cleaning debris from under the keys, review all rules in General cleaning safety precautions on page 11
before following these procedures:
CAUTION: Use safety glasses equipped with side shields before attempting to clean debris from under the
keys.
● Visible debris underneath or between the keys may be removed by vacuuming or shaking.
● Canned, pressurized air may be used to clean debris from under the keys. Caution should be used as too
much air pressure can dislodge lubricants applied under the wide keys.
● If you remove a key, use a specially designed key puller to prevent damage to the keys. This tool is
available through many electronic supply outlets.
IMPORTANT: Never remove a wide leveled key (like the space bar) from the keyboard. If these keys are
improperly removed or installed, the keyboard may not function properly.
● You can clean under a key with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol and squeezed out. Be careful
not to wipe away lubricants necessary for proper key functions. Use tweezers to remove any bers or
dirt in conned areas. Allow the parts to air dry before reassembly.
Cleaning the monitor
● Wipe the monitor screen with a clean cloth moistened with water or with a towelette designed for
cleaning monitors. Do not use sprays or aerosols directly on the screen; the liquid may seep into the
housing and damage a component. Never use solvents or ammable liquids on the monitor.
● To clean the monitor body follow the procedures in Cleaning the computer case on page 11.
Cleaning the mouse
Before cleaning the mouse, ensure that the power to the computer is turned o.
● Clean the mouse ball by rst removing the retaining plate and the ball from the housing. Pull out any
debris from the ball socket and wipe the ball with a clean, dry cloth before reassembly.
● To clean the mouse body, follow the procedures in Cleaning the computer case on page 11.
