Washing the Keyboard
To protect against the build-up of dust and dirt, routinely wash the keyboard.
1.Unplug the keyboard from the computer and remove the extension cable and USB-to-PS2 adapter,
if installed.
2.Wash the keyboard under running water up to a maximum of 80° Celsius / 176° Fahrenheit.
3.If the USB plug (connector) gets wet, shake dry before reconnecting.
4.Shake vigorously to drain excess liquid from the keyboard and wipe dry.
To thoroughly clean the keyboard:
1.Unplug the keyboard from the computer and remove the extension cable and USB-to-PS2 adapter,
if installed.
2.Fill a washbasin or similar container with a cleaning solution.
3.Place the keyboard in the solution and actively agitate it around so that the liquid reaches every
recess on all surfaces.
NOTE:The process of agitated soaking should require no more than 30 seconds to be effective.
Washing the Keyboard5

4.Leave the keyboard in the solution for approximately 60 seconds.
5.Remove the keyboard and rinse under running water.
6.Shake vigorously to drain excess liquid and wipe dry.
7.If the USB plug (connector) gets wet, shake dry before reconnecting.
NOTE:Excess water or liquids may remain in the keyboard’s switch areas. To remove the excess
water, turn the keyboard over, keys side down, or position it sideways and let the water thoroughly drain
from the keyboard.
Water and Dust Protection
The HP washable keyboard provides protection against ingress of water and dust to code IP66 defined
in IEC (International Electro Technical Commission) standard 60529-1 and code 4X as defined in NEMA
(National Electrical Manufacturers Association) standard 250.
The code IP66 defined in the IEC standard 60529 means the keyboard is protected against the ingress
of dust, and that high pressure water jets from any direction will not have any harmful effects. A NEMA
4X enclosure as defined in NEMA standard 250 will provide protection against windblown dust, rain,
splashing water and hose directed water.
For additional information on regulatory standards consult your legal department.
WARNING!To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid using the keyboard with a computer in wet
locations.
