Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Keyboard
The keyboard is designed to resist breakdown from common cleaning and disinfecting solvents. To clean your keyboard:
- Ensure the keyboard is turned off.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with a mild cleaning solution or disinfectant (e.g., alcohol or bleach-based wipes).
- Gently wipe the surface of the keys and the keyboard body.
- Avoid excessive moisture and do not spray cleaners directly onto the keyboard.
- Allow the keyboard to dry completely before turning it back on.
2. Battery Replacement
When the low battery indicator illuminates, it is time to replace the batteries. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section under Setup for detailed steps.
Troubleshooting
- Keyboard not responding:
Ensure the keyboard is turned on and batteries are correctly installed and charged. Verify the correct connection mode (2.4GHz or Bluetooth) is selected. For 2.4GHz, try plugging the USB receiver into a different USB port. For Bluetooth, ensure the device's Bluetooth is enabled and the keyboard is paired. - Connection issues or lag:
If using the 2.4GHz USB receiver, avoid placing it directly next to other 2.4GHz wireless receivers to prevent interference. Ensure the keyboard is within the effective range of your device. For Bluetooth, try unpairing and re-pairing the keyboard. - Bluetooth pairing failure:
If your computer finds the keyboard but a PIN window does not appear, try restarting both the keyboard and your device. Ensure no other Bluetooth devices are attempting to pair simultaneously. Consult your device's operating system documentation for specific Bluetooth troubleshooting steps. - Keys not functioning correctly:
Check for any physical obstructions under the keys. If specific keys are unresponsive or exhibit unusual behavior, ensure the keyboard is clean. If the issue persists, contact Kensington support.
