SETUP
Pairing the Keyboard In Bluetooth Mode
Step.1 Switch the keyboard to BT mode. The mode switch
is located on the backside of the keyboard.
Step.2. Select which Bluetooth profile to connect to by pressing the (FN)
key and 1, 2, or 3 keys together. For example, when pairing with Bluetooth
profile 1, press the (FN) key and 1 keys together. The – / key will flash 5
times when the profile connection is locked. For first time connections, the
default profile is set at Bluetooth profile 1. (Please refer to the bottom of
the page for more details)
Step.3 Put the keyboard in Pairing Mode by pressing down the (Fn) key and
the – I key. This key is the xxx in both PC and Mac layouts. Press the (Fn)
key and the xxx key for a few seconds until the – t key goes from a quick
flash to a slow continuous flash. Now, the keyboard is in Pairing Mode.
Step.4 On your Mac, navigate to ‘System Preferences’ and select
‘Keyboard’. Next, click on ‘Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard’. For Windows 10, go to
‘Bluetooth Settings’ and select ‘Add Bluetooth or Other Device’. Once the
setup wizard finds ‘AZIO RETRO CLASSIC BE’, click on ‘Pair’.
Step.5 Once the pairing is successfully completed, the keyboard backlight
will stop flashing. The keyboard is now ready for use.
*Multi-Pairing Up To 3 Devices
This keyboard supports the pairing of up to 3 Bluetooth devices
simultaneously, with 1 profile active at a time. The keyboard default setting
is at profile 1. To change, simply short-press combination keys “FN+2” or
“FN+3” and follow the previous procedures to pair with other devices. To
switch between the 3 paired devices, short-press combination keys “FN+1”,
“FN+2”, or “FN+3”. If there is a previous connection already established, the
Bluetooth key will flash quickly for 3-5 seconds as it attempts to reconnect
to the device and stop flashing once reconnected.
Charging The Keyboard
When the battery is less than 20%, the ESC key will start blinking in red.
Plug the included USB cable into the keyboard and plug the other end to a USB
port or a USB charger. The same LED will stop blinking and light up a steady
red, indicating the keyboard is charging. Once fully charged, the red LED will
turn back to white. Charging a completely drained battery to full on a USB 3.0
port will take approximately 8 hours due to its large power capacity. Actual
charging time may vary depending on the power output of the charging source.
The keyboard can be charged in any mode – BT, USB, or OFF mode.
Battery Power Level
To check the battery power level of the keyboard, press the FN+ESC key. The
LEDs ranging from F1 to F10 will light up, each key indicating 10% of total
power. So if all 10 keys light up. this indicates the keyboard battery is 100%
full.
