Avoiding damage

Damage to the keyboard

• Do not remove the key caps.

Setup

• Insert the batteries supplied into the battery compartment on the back of the keyboard.

Switching the keyboard on/off

• Slide the switch on the back of the keyboard to the appropriate position:
  Off = 0
  On = I

The LED next to the on/off switch lights up red for three seconds. The CAPS Lock key also lights up red for three seconds and the F1 key lights up blue for three seconds.

The key with the set connection type ( - ) lights up for 5 seconds if the connection is successful.
When not in use for an extended period of time, the keyboard enters sleep mode where it uses very little 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.

Connecting the keyboard to the PC/ laptop

Bluetooth version
You need a PC/laptop with a Bluetooth receiver that supports at least Bluetooth 4.0.

1. Open the search for Bluetooth devices on your PC/ laptop (for example via Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth).
2. Follow the software instructions.
3. Switch on the keyboard (set the switch on the back of the keyboard to "I").
4. To start pairing mode, press the FN key for five seconds at the same time as pressing either the F1 key (), F2 key () or F3 key ()with the Bluetooth channel you want to use to connect the keyboard to the PC/laptop.
   The key flashes blue slowly. From this point, you can establish a connection within 30 seconds.
5. Follow the software instructions.
   The corresponding Bluetooth key will light up blue for 5 seconds to confirm, and the keyboard is connected to your PC/laptop.
   If the key flashes blue rapidly for 5 seconds, the connection has failed.

• Try again.

Pairing-Mode
In factory settings, each channel of the keyboard is in pairing mode.

Displaying the connection

• Press the FN key.

The key for the corresponding connection (-) lights up for 5 seconds.

Changing the connection type

If you have connected the keyboard to multiple devices, you can switch between these devices.

• Press the FN key and the corresponding key (-) simultaneously.
  The corresponding key (-) lights up for 5 seconds.
  If the corresponding key flashes rapidly for 5 seconds, the connection has failed.
• Try again.

Changing the batteries

When the keyboard batteries have lost their charge, the CAPS Lock and FN Lock LEDs flash ten times before the signal stops.
This happens if you work with the keyboard after starting the PC/laptop or if you rouse it from sleep mode.

• Insert new batteries into the battery compartment.

Activating additional functions on the function keys

There are blue symbols on some keys that allow you to perform additional functions.
When the LED of the FN key is off (factory setting):

• For the standard function (white lettering), press the key. Or:
• For the function of a blue symbol, press the FN key and the key with the corresponding symbol simultaneously.

3. Dry off the keyboard with a soft, lint-free cloth.

If the keyboard is not working

• If one of the keys for the connection type (-) flashes for a prolonged period after a write attempt, this means that this connection type is set and the keyboard cannot establish a connection. Set up the connection again (see "Connecting the keyboard to the PC/laptop").
• Switch the keyboard off and on again.
