C. KEY TOP REPLACEMENT
Please always use a flat bladed screwdriver (never use the key clip
that is designed for key cap) to remove the key tops in replacement
operation. Before inserting any key top (single, double or blank) back
into the keyboard frame, it is absolutely important to orientate the key
tops correctly.
Failure to do this could result in permanent damage.
Please examine the bottom square stem of a key top for a springy
latching tab as in pictures below. Please note that there are two possible
directions for a double key.
Now please look into the guide hole
on the keyboard frame. There is a tab
inside the bottom side wall as indicated in
drawing at right. When any key top is to be
inserted onto the keyboard frame, the tab
on the inside wall of the key top guide hole
must
mate a corresponding springy
latching tab.
In this way, the matching stem of a double key must be either at
the bottom when the double key is “vertically” aligned or at the right of
the key coverage area when the double key is “horizontally” aligned.
The location for the key-definition to be programmed for the double key
shall then be the bottom or the right position accordingly.
