Updating programs and drivers HP recommends that you update your programs and drivers on a regular basis to the latest versions because if you don't, you won't know what you're missing! Updates can fix issues and bring new features and options to your computer. Technology is always changing and updating programs and drivers allows your computer to run the latest technology available. For example, an older graphics card might not work well with the most recent gaming software unless it has a driver that can translate the newest commands. Without the latest driver, your graphics card might still work, but you would not be getting the most out of your equipment! Go to the HP website to download the latest versions of HP programs and drivers. For U.S. support, go to http://www.hp.com/go/contactHP. For worldwide support, go to http://welcome.hp.com/country/ us/en/wwcontact_us.html. In addition, register to receive automatic update notifications when they become available. Cleaning your computer Cleaning your computer and peripherals helps keep them in good working condition. If you don't clean your computer, dust and dirt particles can build up. CAUTION: Avoid using the following cleaning products to clean your computer: Strong solvents, such as alcohol, acetone, ammonium chloride, methylene chloride, and hydrocarbons, which can permanently damage the surface of the computer. Cleaning the display, sides, and cover Gently wipe the display using a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with an alcohol-free glass cleaner. Allow the display to dry before closing the computer cover. Use a pre-moistened germicidal wipe to clean the sides and cover. Fibrous materials, such as paper towels, can scratch the computer. NOTE: When cleaning the cover of the computer, use a circular motion to aid in removing dirt and debris. Cleaning the TouchPad and keyboard CAUTION: Never allow liquids to drip between the keys on the keyboard, even when you are cleaning the computer. This can permanently damage internal components. ● To clean and disinfect the TouchPad and keyboard, use a soft microfiber cloth or a static-free cloth without oil (such as a chamois cloth) moistened with an alcohol-free glass cleaner or use an acceptable germicidal disposable wipe. ● To prevent keys from sticking and to remove dust, lint, and particles from the keyboard, use a can of compressed air with a straw extension. WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to internal components, do not use a vacuum cleaner attachment to clean the keyboard. A vacuum cleaner can deposit household debris on the keyboard surface. Updating programs and drivers 63
