apply a small amount of alcohol to the
cloth and try to clean it again.

solvent to clean the touchscreen.
Note: Do not pour or spray alcohol onto the

The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure
of your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the status bar
indicating the status of the voice command
session. See Using Voice Recognition
(page 396).
