Kurzweil KORE64 [6/16] Deoxidizing the contacts

Preparing For Hardware Installation

If you’re installing the Expansion Kit into a PC3K, you can proceed to the next section,

Deoxidizing the Contacts. If you’re installing into a PC3, you’ll need to move the jumper so that it

connects pins 2 and 3 (the two right-hand pins).

1. Grasp the jumper firmly, and slide it off the pins. Be careful not to bend the pins.

2. Slide the jumper onto the two right-hand pins, and push it firmly into place.

Deoxidizing the Contacts

During shipping and storage, the gold contacts on the

circuit board may have become oxidized, which can

prevent proper operation. To ensure the best

performance, your expansion kit includes a small

swab impregnated with deoxIT. Use the deoxIT to

clean the contacts, as shown in Figure 4.

Be careful not to touch the contacts with your bare

fingers; this will cause further oxidation.

You may want to use a plastic glove to make sure the

contacts stay clean, and to avoid getting deoxIT on

your hands.

Once you’ve deoxidized the contacts, you’re ready to

install the expansion board. We recommend saving

the deoxIT cloth in its plastic bag, in case you need

to clean the contacts again.

Please be sure to follow the hardware installation

instructions for the appropriate model.
