How to Restart the Computer
If the computer or an application locks up, or if the computer does not
respond when you press the Power button, you may need to restart the
computer.
The computer uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory
during the boot process. Try these methods, in order, to restart the
computer:
• Reboot: Restarts the computer and goes through the initialization
process.
• Reset: Preserves configuration and network settings, but does not
necessarily save cached disk data, which may result in data loss.
Reboot the Computer
You may need to restart the computer to correct conditions where an
application stops responding to the system.
• Press the Power button and select Reboot from the menu.
Reset the Computer
If the computer completely stops responding, you may need to reset the
computer. Because resetting may result in data loss, use this method only
if all other recovery methods have failed.
• Press the Reset button on the top of the computer. When the reset is
complete, the Home screen appears.
Clean the Computer
Clean the computer as often as needed. Use one of these recommended
cleaning agents: Acetic acid (10% in water), Ethyl alcohol (10% in water),
mild soap solutions, or 5% to no more than 10% bleach or sodium
hypochlorite with water.
1 Press the Power button to suspend the computer.
2 Dip a clean cloth towel in the cleaning agent and wring out the excess.
3 Wipe the touch screen. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch
the surface.
4 Wipe off the exterior of the computer.
5 Wipe dry.
