Product Warnings

Care and Maintenance Warnings

• Apply warm water or a mild cleaning solution to a microfiber cloth and gently wipe the keyboard. Dry it with a microfiber cloth.
• Do not direct a high-pressure stream of water at the Allegro Wireless Keyboard to clean it. This action can break the seal, causing water to get inside the keyboard and voiding the war­ranty.
• Do not use abrasive pads, soft bristle brushes, or harsh cleaning solutions on the keyboard.
• Exposure to some cleaning solutions may damage your key­board, including automotive brake cleaner, isopropyl alcohol, carburetor cleaner, and similar solutions. If you are uncertain about the strength or effect of a cleaner, apply a small amount to a less visible location as a test. If any visual change becomes apparent, promptly rinse and wash with a known mild cleaning solution or with water.
• Do not attempt to repair the Allegro Wireless Keyboard yourself. This action voids the product warranty.

Battery Warnings

• The Allegro Wireless Keyboard battery has an internal, non-re­movable battery. Battery replacement is only possible at a certi­fied repair center.
• Opening the battery compartment voids the product warranty.
• Charge the battery only within the temperature range of 41–113°F (5–45°C).

• Plug the USB-C cable and wall charger into an electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
