5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Keyboard

• Disconnect the keyboard from all power sources and devices before cleaning.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the surface of the keyboard.
• For cleaning between keycaps, use compressed air to remove dust and debris.
• The PBT spherical keycaps are durable and resistant to oiliness. They can be removed for deeper cleaning if necessary, but do so gently to avoid damage.

5.2 Battery Care

• Avoid exposing the keyboard to extreme temperatures.
• Do not use fast charging adapters, as this can damage the built-in 2000 mAh battery.
• If storing the keyboard for an extended period, charge it to about 50% to prolong battery life.

6. Troubleshooting

• Check the connection mode switch on the keyboard to ensure it's set to the correct mode (2.4G, BT, or Wired).
• For 2.4G wireless, ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into the device.
• For Bluetooth, ensure the keyboard is paired correctly and selected as the active device in your device's Bluetooth settings. Try re-pairing if necessary.
• Restart your computer/device.
