5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Cleaning the Case and Keyboard

Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to wipe down the exterior of the case.
For the keyboard, use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys. A slightly damp cloth can be used to wipe the keycaps, avoiding excessive moisture.
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the materials.

5.2 Battery Replacement

The Slim Folio uses two replaceable coin cell batteries. When the battery indicator light (if present) signals low power, or if the keyboard becomes unresponsive, it's time to replace the batteries.

Locate the battery compartment on the keyboard. This is typically on the side or back.
Open the compartment using a small screwdriver or coin, as indicated by the design.
Remove the old batteries and insert new ones, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
Close the battery compartment securely.
