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, e.g., disassembling, crushing, heating or burning it.

RSI arises due to small movements continuously repeated over a long period of time.

• Set up your workspace ergonomically.
• Position the keyboard and mouse in such a manner that your upper arms and wrists are outstretched and to the sides of your body.
• Take several short breaks, with stretching exercises if necessary.
• Change your posture often.

2 Switching the keyboard on/off

When not in use for longer than 30 seconds, the keyboard switches to sleep mode, which requires 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.

• Press the power button on the back of the keyboard.

3 Connecting the keyboard to a device

You can connect the keyboard to your PC/laptop or other devices (such as a game console or TV) via the cable, Bluetooth, or with the receiver using a 2.4 GHz wireless connection.
