l Disconnect the power cable only after you turn off the table as documented in this guide

and the indicator lights and fans turn off. Disconnecting the power cable at any other time

l Your table’s surface does not respond to touch until the computer completes its start-up

process. Wait 30 to 60 seconds after you turn on your table before you touch the surface.

l Before you clean your table, turn it off so that you do not inadvertently start applications

when you wipe the surface.

l Do not place keyboards, mouse devices or other objects on the touch surface. The

cameras may interpret these objects as touches if they are placed on the touch surface.

l Electrical and electronic equipment and batteries contain substances that can

be harmful to the environment and to human health. The crossed-out wheeled
bin symbol indicates that products should be disposed of in the appropriate
recycling stream and not as regular waste.
