Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen, or allow contact
with substances that could dirty the touchscreen, such as oil. The cursor may not work
properly in such cases.
When the touchscreen becomes dirty:
Use a dry soft cloth such as a gauze to clean the dirty areas.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or disinfectant- type alcohol.
