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:

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.

Open the search for Bluetooth devices on your PC/ laptop (for example via Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth).

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.
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.

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

Changing the connection type

If the corresponding key flashes rapidly for 5 seconds, the connection has failed.

This happens if you work with the keyboard after starting the PC/laptop or if you rouse it from sleep mode.
