For your safety

Risk of choking from swallowing small parts

Keep the device out of the reach of children under 3 years.

RSI stands for “Repetitive Strain Injury”.
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.
You can choose the most comfortable angle for the keyboard by adjusting the feet on the back.
Take several short breaks, with stretching exercises if necessary.
Change your posture often.

2 Avoiding damage

The magnets can wipe storage media and damage mechanical watches

Do not place any storage media such as magnetic cards or external hard drives, or mechanical watches within 10 cm of the keyboard.

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. In this mode the LEDs and keypad illumination are turned off. 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.

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

Attaching the palm rest

Push the palm rest up to the front of the keyboard.
The palm rest is held in place by magnets in the keyboard housing.

Connecting the keyboard to a device
