5. Maintenance and Care
5.1 Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and hygiene, regularly clean your keyboard, mouse, and number pad. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the devices. For sticky keys, a specialized electronics cleaner (e.g., WD-40 electronics cleaner) can be used as per the product's instructions, applied to a cloth, not directly to the keyboard.
5.2 Battery Replacement
When the devices show signs of low power (e.g., reduced responsiveness, indicator light), replace the AAA batteries. Refer to Section 3.2 for battery installation instructions. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
5.3 Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for a very long time, consider removing the batteries to prevent leakage.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Keyboard/Mouse/Number Pad not responding | Low or dead batteries; USB receiver not properly connected; Interference. | Replace batteries. Ensure USB receiver is firmly plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port. Move devices closer to the receiver. |
