2 Caring for the Tablet PC
The tablet PC is a precision device; incorrect operation may damage the device.

Do not press the touchscreen strongly, or damage may occur. Do not place objects on the device to avoid damaging the screen when you cover the touchscreen. Place the tablet PC in a carrying case to protect it from dirt, water, shock, and scratches before traveling. Do not drop or place heavy objects on the touchscreen. Do not scratch the touchscreen with your fingernails or any hard objects. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe your tablet PC gently to avoid damaging the touchscreen. Shut down the tablet PC if the device will not be used for a long time. Do not clean the touchscreen with chemical cleaners. The touchscreen must not come into contact with hard objects (e.g., cloth buttons and watchbands).
Use a soft, lint-free dry cloth to wipe the touchscreen smoothly. Do not use your hand to wipe the touchscreen directly. Do not spill liquid into the tablet PC, as it can damage the components. Cover the touchscreen smoothly to avoid moving the hinges and flashing the touchscreen.
Do not clean the touchscreen with acidic cleaners or spray cleaning solution directly on the tablet PC.
