Apply the cleaner to the cloth; then stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom. If the display contains grease or some other contaminant, use isopropyl alcohol instead of commercial window cleaner. • If your computer gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures described in "If Your Computer Gets Wet" on page 42 and "If You Drop or Damage Your Computer" on page 43. If, after following these procedures, you confirm that your computer is not operating properly, contact Dell (see page 73). When Removing or Installing Memory Modules Before removing or installing memory modules, perform the following steps in the sequence indicated. NOTICE: The only time you should ever access the inside of your computer is when you are installing memory modules. NOTICE: Wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer before disconnecting a peripheral device or removing a memory module to help prevent possible damage to the system board. 1 Turn off your computer and any attached peripherals. 2 Disconnect your computer and peripherals from electrical outlets to reduce the potential for personal injury or shock. Also, disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer. 3 Remove the main battery from the battery bay and, if necessary, the secondary battery from the media bay. 4 Ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal surface of the I/O panel on the back of the computer. While you work, periodically touch the I/O panel to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components. 12 Sa f ety an d E MC In str uc tion s: Port ab le C om pu ter s
