MAINTAINING YOUR KEYBOARD

Like all electronic equipment you need to avoid getting it wet, dropping it or
using undue force to depress the keys or operate the latch handle.

Do not subject the keyboard to extremes in temperature. Your keyboard will
operate best in temperatures of -5O

Keep the surface of your keyboard clean by wiping with a soft cloth that is
dampened with a mild cleaning solution; preferably water and mild soap.

Important: 

Do not attempt to adjust the keyboard without releasing the latch

handle and 

DO NOT PLACE ANY LUBRICATION or CLEANING FLUID IN THE
