Battery Notification

Your keyboard has an LED near the On/Off switch to let you know the battery status. The LED will be green from 100% to 11% and turn red from 10% and below. Turn off the backlighting to continue typing for more than 500 hours when the battery is low.To charge, plug in the USB-C cable at the top right corner of your keyboard. You can continue typing while it is charging.
Smart backlighting
Your keyboard has an embedded ambient light sensor that reads and adapts the level of backlighting accordingly.

***** Backlight is turned OFF.
There are eight total backlight levels. You can change the backlight level at any time with two exceptions: the backlight cannot be turned ON when:

• the room brightness is high, over 100 lux
• the keyboard battery is low

Software notifications
Install Logitech Options software to get the most out of your keyboard. You can find more information here.

• Backlight level notificationsYou can see the backlight level changes in real-time.

• Backlighting disabled
  There are two factors that will disable backlighting: When your keyboard has only 10% of battery left, this message will appear when you try to enable backlighting. If you want the backlight back, plug in your keyboard to charge it. When the environment around you is too bright, your keyboard will automatically disable backlighting to avoid using it when not needed. This will also allow you to use it longer with backlight in low light conditions. You will see this notification when you try to turn backlighting ON.

• Low battery When your keyboard reaches 10% of battery left, backlighting turns OFF and you get a battery notification on the screen.

• F-Keys switch
  When you press Fn + Esc you can swap between the Media keys and F-Keys.
  We’ve added a notification so you know when you’ve swapped the keys.

NOTE: By default, the keyboard has direct access to Media Keys.
