Appendix

Cleaning
Turn off the product and disconnect from AC power before cleaning. Turning the product off protects against accidental touch selections that could cause problems or hazardous results. Disconnecting power protects against hazardous interaction between accidental liquid entry and electricity. To clean the case, dampen a clean cloth lightly with water and a mild detergent and wipe gently. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean areas that have ventilation openings to avoid getting any liquid or moisture inside. If liquid does get inside, do not use the product until it has been inspected and tested by a qualified service technician. To clean the touch screen, apply a glass cleaning solution to a soft cloth and wipe the screen clean. To ensure that liquid does not enter the product, do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the touch screen or any other part. Do not use volatile solvents, waxes or any abrasive cleaners on any part of the product.
