Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Usage of Medical Protective Gloves?

We recommend the use of nitrile gloves instead of latex gloves in the operation of our products. This reduces the risk of allergies and avoids yellowing of the product by abrasion of the latex.

Detachable USB cable?

You may attach a USB cable with USB-Type-C connector to the keyboard by unlocking the sealing cap of the USB-Type-C port opposed to the battery compartment and inserting the connector into the USB-C socket. The wireless interface will be disabled as soon as the keyboard is connected to the PC. The Duo version has the cable included.

Energy saving mode?

The status LEDs show the status of Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock as soon as those functions are enabled. In order to save power, the status LEDs will turn off 15 seconds after the last key actuation.

How to determine the battery status?

The keyboard indicates low battery status by turning the LED “Clean” on for 5 seconds upon any actuation of keys. Please replace the batteries as soon as possible. The keyboard will be turned off as soon as the low battery status reaches the related threshold. The turn off point will be visualized with a blinking light using the first three LEDs.

How to activate/deactivate Clean Function?

The key combination “Fn” + “Shift (Clean on/off)” activates and deactivates Clean Function. When the status LED “Clean” is flashing, it indicates that Clean Function is activated. While activated, all keys are disabled, so you can safely wipe, clean and disinfect the keyboard. The mode ends automatically after 60 seconds or by operating the key combination again.

How to investigate a wireless connection problem?

1. Check whether Clean Function is active and deactivate, if required.
2. Check whether the USB RF receiver is listed in the device manager of your Operating System (VID&PID=0x046A&0xC132).
3. Follow the pairing instructions (see below).
4. In case all previous steps do not resolve the problem, please consult with customer service

How to pair a new USB-Wireless-Dongle with the device?

Note: This procedure is only required if you received a replacement USB- Wireless-Dongle. This is necessary if the original receiver was lost or damaged.

1. Make sure any other USB-Wireless-Dongle(s) belonging to Active key wireless products in the near neighborhood are removed from the USB ports. Do only connect the USB-Wireless-Dongle that shall get paired.
2. Initiate the pairing between USB-Wireless-Dongle and keyboard by depressing key combination “Fn” + “Esc”.
3. The Scroll Lock status LED will flash in fast frequency for approx. 5 seconds until pairing process completed.
4. Test basic functionality of the keyboard. In case the pairing process failed, double check Step 1 and repeat.
5. In case the pairing process does not lead to success, please consult with Customer Service.
