Handling the Monitor
Follow these procedures for handling a monitor:
m Tu rn down the screen brightness control if you leave the computer turned on for
extended periods. If the brightness is not turned down, the image on the screen could
“burn in” and damage the screen.
You can also use a “screen saver” program, which dims or varies the image on the screen
when the computer has been idle for a specified period of time. These programs are
available from independent suppliers and user groups.
m Make sure the vents on the computer are clear and unobstructed.
m If there is interference on the monitor’s screen or on a television or radio near your
computer, move the affected equipment farther away.
Handling the Keyboard
Take care not to spill any liquid on the keyboard. If you do, turn off your computer
immediately.
m If you spill liquid that is thin and clear, turn off your computer, unplug the keyboard, turn
it upside down to let the liquid drain out, and let it dry for 24 hours at room temperature.
If, after you take these steps, the keyboard doesn’t work, take it to your Apple-authorized
service provider for repair.
m If you spill liquid that is greasy, sweet, or sticky, unplug the keyboard and take it to your
Apple-authorized service provider for repair.
Handling CD-ROM Discs
Keep these important safety instructions in mind as you use CD-ROM discs:
m Hold a disc by the edges or by one edge and the center hole. Do not touch the disc
surface.
m To clean discs, wipe the shiny surface with a soft damp cloth, working in straight lines
from center to edge. Do not use any form of cleaning agent.
