Note: If you have a USB keyboard, it will function even if a password has
been placed on the computer.
Some operating systems have a keyboard and mouse lock-up feature. Check
the documentation that comes with your operating system for more
information.
Shutting down
When you are ready to turn off your computer, follow the shutdown procedure
for your operating system to prevent the loss of unsaved data or damage to
your software programs. See your operating system documentation for
instructions.
Taking care of your computer
This section provides guidelines for the proper handling and care of your
computer.
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 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.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn off the computer and monitor power switches before
cleaning the computer and monitor screen.
