• Clean the display with a soft, clean cloth and water. Apply the water to the cloth; then
stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display
to the bottom. Remove moisture from the display quickly and keep the display dry.
Long-term exposure to moisture can damage the display. Do not use a commercial
window cleaner to clean your display.
• If your computer gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures described in “If Your
Computer Gets Wet” or “If You Drop or Damage Your Computer” in your User’s Guide.
If, after following these procedures, you confirm that your computer is not operating
properly, contact Dell (see the User’s Guide for the appropriate contact information).
