Maintenance
To clean the keyboard input surface, use the wiping cloth included in the package or a
similar soft cloth.
Cleaning mode
The cleaning mode disables keyboard input so that you can perform cleaning while the
keyboard is connected to the computer.
During the cleaning mode, key input is ignored even when the backlight is on and texts
are displayed.
Note Because the backlight lighting time is also controlled during the cleaning
mode, lighting of texts may go off during cleaning.
If lighting of characters goes off during cleaning in the cleaning mode, touch
the sensor area to display characters, just as when returning from the power-
saving mode.
• The keyboard surface is splash-proof, so it is possible to clean the key-
board with alcohol mist.

normal mode.
When the keyboard returns from the cleaning mode, a beep sounds and texts flash for
indication.
When returning to the normal mode, the status of the electrostatic sensor is initialized.
Do not touch the key input surface during initialization.
Otherwise initialization will not be completed successfully and that may affect the input
sensitivity after returning.
During initialization, the following operations will be performed.
1. The backlight flashes three times.
2. A beep sounds while the backlight flashes for a few seconds and initializa-
tion starts.
3. When initialization ends, the backlight goes off and the keyboard becomes
usable.
4. Characters light up when the input area is touched.
Caution
To prevent input during cleaning, clean the keyboard in the cleaning mode or
after the cable is disconnected from the PC.
