Care of your keyboard

Avoid heat, humidity or direct sunlight.
Do not overexpose the instrument to direct sunlight, or place it near an air conditioner, or in any extremely hot place.
Do not use near a TV or radio.
This instrument can cause video or audio interference with TV and radio reception. If this happens, move the instrument away
from the TV or radio.
Do not use lacquer, thinner or similar chemicals for cleaning.
Clean the keyboard with a soft cloth dampened in a weak solution of water and a neutral detergent. Soak the cloth in the solution
and squeeze until it is almost dry.
Avoid use in areas subjected to temperature extremes.
Extreme heat can cause figures on the LCD screen to become dim and difficult to read. This condition should correct itself when
the keyboard is brought back to normal temperature.
NOTE
