Maintenance

1. Charging the Keyboard

To clean the keyboard, first power it off. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the keyboard. Use compressed air to remove debris from between the keys.

When not in use for an extended period, power off the keyboard to conserve battery life. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
