• Don't put excessive pressure or weight on your
digital books or Digital Book System.

• Don't expose your digital books to extreme or
prolonged heat, cold, or other adverse conditions.

When you're not using your Digital Book System,
keep two digital books or dummy books in its slots to
prevent dust build-up.

Cleaning the Digital Book System

To clean the digital books, apply isopropyl alcohol
with cotton swab.

To clean the Digital Book System, apply a mild
household cleaner onto a soft cloth. CAUTION:
Spraying liquids directly on your Digital Book System
could damage its circuitry.
