MAINTENANCE, CARE AND PREVENTION, TROUBLESHOOTING
With a modicum of care, the K2000 will provide years of use and
enjoyment. There are just a few important points to keep in
mind.
Proper installation is essential to the health and welfare of
the K2000. It should rest on a stable keyboard stand, or on a
hard flat surface. If a flat surface is used, the K2000 MUST
rest on its rubber feed, and NOT on the bottom panel. NEVER
block the ventilation openings on the rear panel; doing so can
cause overheating which may seriously damage the K2000! To
provide adequate ventilation, the rear panel should be at least
four inches from any vertical surface. If you install an
internal hard disk, the ventilation opening on the underside of
the K2000 must remain unobstructed so the cooling fan can
operate properly. Care should be taken to minimize the amount
of dust in the environment.
There are no user-serviceable parts in the K2000. Under no
circumstances should anyone other than a qualified technician
attempt to remove any panels from the unit, except for battery
replacement. Any attempt to open the K2000 risks severe
electrical shock and will void the product warranty.
CLEANING THE K2000
It is always a good idea to remove dust from the K2000
occasionally. Dust can be easily removed by using the brush
attachment with a vacuum cleaner and gently working same into
the gaps between the keys, buttons, etc. DO NOT REMOVE ANY
PANELS! To remove routine fingerprints and smudges, use a soft
damp cloth with a mild detergent (such as dish washing
detergent). Never use strong cleaners or solvents, and never
spray anything on the front panel or into the ventilation
holes! Any cleaners you may want to use should be applied to
your cleaning cloth; you can then carefully wipe the surfaces
of the K2000.
FLOPPy DRIVE MAINTENANCE
Care should be always taken to keep dirt and dust out of the
floppy disk drive, thus few (if any) problems will result. If,
however, errors or failures in loading or saving are
experienced, dust or dirt in the drive may be the cause.
Consult your dealer or authorized service center for
information regarding products and techniques for floppy drive
cleaning. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISMANTLE THE UNIT OF THE FLOPPY
DRIVE!
BATTERY SELECTION AND REPLACEMENT
The K2000 uses batteries to preserve its internal memory when
the power is turned off. The original batteries should last at
least one year before they need replacing. Replacement is
necessary when the LCD says "BATTERY VOLTAGE IS LOW" during
power-up, or when it is noticed the LEDs flash twice instead of
once during power-up. Once these warnings begin to occur, the
