For your safety

Risk of choking from swallowing small parts

• Keep the device out of the reach of children under 3 years.

Fire hazard due to permanently installed rechargeable battery

• Do not destroy the keyboard by, for example, dismantling, crushing, heating or burning it.

RSI stands for "Repetitive Strain Injury".
RSI arises due to small movements continuously repeated over a long period of time.

• Set up your workspace ergonomically.
• Change the inclination of the keyboard by mounting the support bar.
• Take several short breaks, with stretching exercises if necessary.
• Change your posture often.

Avoiding damage

Damage to the keyboard

• Do not remove the key caps.

The magnets can wipe storage media and damage mechanical watches

• Do not place any storage media such as magnetic cards or external hard drives, or mechanical watches within 10 cm of the keyboard support bar.

Raising the angle of the keyboard

You can raise the angle of the keyboard by mounting the supplied support bar on the bottom of the keyboard.

1. Switch the keyboard off.
2. Use the pins of the magnetic support bar to plug it into the asymmetrically arranged recesses on the bottom of the keyboard.

Connecting the keyboard to the computer

You can connect the keyboard to the computer via Bluetooth or via a 2.4 GHz wireless connection using the receiver.

Connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth

Bluetooth version
You need a computer with a Bluetooth receiver that supports at least Bluetooth 4.0.

1. Open the menu by clicking the Apple symbol () at the top left of the screen.
2. In the menu, click "System settings".
3. Slide the switch on the back of the keyboard to "BT"
4. Activate the keyboard Bluetooth connection by pressing the button next to the BT switch.
   The LED on the back of the keyboard flashes blue.
   If the LED does not flash blue:

• The keyboard is already connected to another computer. Switch it off or deactivate that connection.

5. Click "Bluetooth".
6. Select the keyboard and click "Connect".
7. Follow the software instructions.
   The LED goes out and the keyboard is connected to your computer.

If the LED rapidly flashes red, the connection has failed.

• Try again.

Connecting the keyboard via the receiver

1. Connect the receiver to a USB port on the computer.
2. Slide the switch on the back of the keyboard to "RF"

The LED on the back of the keyboard briefly lights up red to confirm. The keyboard is connected to your computer.

Switching the keyboard on/off

When not in use, the keyboard switches to sleep mode, which requires much less power. It switches on again automatically the first time a button is pressed.
Because the keyboard still consumes power in energy-saving mode, switch it off manually before longer periods out of use or for transport.

• Slide the switch on the back of the keyboard to the appropriate position:
  Off = switch in middle position
  On (wireless) = RF
  On (Bluetooth) = BT

Charging the battery

When the voltage of the keyboard battery decreases, the LEDs on the keyboard flash 10 times, then the signal stops.
This happens if you use the keyboard after starting the computer or if you rouse it from sleep mode. Charging the batteries in good time prolongs their service life.

• Connect the charging cable to the socket on the keyboard and a USB port or USB mains adapter. Your power source (computer) must be switched on. You can continue to work while it is charging. The LED on the back of the keyboard lights up red.

When the LED on the back of the keyboard goes off, the keyboard battery is fully charged. The charging circuit prevents overcharging.

Activating additional functions on the function keys

There are symbols on some of the function keys that allow you to perform additional functions.

• For the function of a symbol, press the function key along with the corresponding symbol.
  Or:
• For the standard function (F1 - F12), press and hold the FN key and press the function key.

Locking/unlocking the FN key

If you use the standard functions (F1 - F12) often, you can lock the FN key.

• Press the Control key and the FN key at the same time.

When the FN lock LED lights up in the F14 key, the standard functions (F1 - F12) of the function keys are executed. When the FN lock LED is off, the functions of the function key symbols are executed.
The setting of the FN key is stored in the keyboard and remains after the computer is turned off and on.

Set up zoom function

This function is available to you with operating system macOS 10.13 and higher. To be able to change the screen resolution using the zoom key ( ), you have to activate the zoom function.

1. Open the menu by clicking the Apple symbol ( ) at the top left of the screen.
2. In the menu, click "System settings".
3. Click the "Accessibility features" symbol.
4. Click "Zoom" in the menu on the left.
5. Activate "Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom".

When you press the zoom key ( ), the screen view is enlarged. When you press the zoom key again ( ), the screen returns to the standard resolution.

For keyboard with US layout: Enter the € character

Keyboard variant JK-9110US-1 does not have the € character. You can enter the € character using the following key combination:

• Press the dial key ( ), the shift key ( ) and the 2 key simultaneously.

The € character is output.

Cleaning the keyboard

• Prevent liquids from entering the keyboard.

2. Clean the keyboard with a slightly damp cloth and some mild cleaning agent (e.g. dishwashing liquid).
3. Dry off the keyboard with a soft, lint-free cloth.

If the keyboard is not working

• Switch the keyboard off and on again.
• Charge the keyboard via the charging cable (see "Charging the battery").
• Remove any objects causing interference between the keyboard and the computer. Interference is caused in particular by metallic or electrical objects such as cables, loudspeakers or USB hubs.
• Reduce the distance between the keyboard and the computer.
• If the function keys or the symbols on the function keys do not work: Check whether the FN key is locked (see "Locking/unlocking the FN key").

Rectifying a Bluetooth connection fault

• Check whether the internal receiver of your computer supports at least Bluetooth standard 4.0. Lower versions are not supported.
• If your computer is in standby mode, it cannot be woken up using Bluetooth devices. Switch on the computer manually.
• If the keyboard is already connected to another computer, you cannot make a parallel connection.
  Turn off the first computer or deactivate the connection.

Operating several Bluetooth devices on one computer
Connecting too many Bluetooth devices may overload the Bluetooth receivers in the computer.

• Turn off any unnecessary Bluetooth devices.
• Remove the connection to the keyboard in the Bluetooth software and add it again as a new device.

• Use an external Bluetooth receiver.
• Connect the keyboard using the receiver.

Rectifying a connection fault using the receiver

• Connect the receiver to another USB port on the computer.
• Reduce the distance between the receiver and the keyboard by connecting the receiver to a USB port that is close to the keyboard.
