Bluetooth Setup Instruction 1

  1. Switch to Bluetooth mode
    ① When the keyboard remains unplugged, turn the back switch to ON. Then long press and hold Fn + E / R / T to start pairing with Bluetooth devices. The keyboard will enter Bluetooth pairing mode when the blue LEDs under E / R / T keys flash quickly.
    ② When the Keyboard is plugged into the computer through USB interface, it will enter Bluetooth mode automatically without having to push the switch on the back. Users can directly long press and hold Fn + E / R / T to enable Bluetooth pairing. The keyboard will enter Bluetooth pairing mode when the blue LEDs under E / R / T keys flash quickly.

  2. Set the Bluetooth profile
    To help user recognize individual Bluetooth device, the keyboard is equipped with both Bluetooth 5.0 and 3.0 frameworks.
    The device name under the Bluetooth 5.0 framework is PC98BP-1/PC98BP-2/PC98BP-3 while the device name under Bluetooth 3.0 is Akko PC98BP BT3.0. Once the devices are paired through Fn + E / R / T, the system will by default memorize the last connected device before you turn off the Bluetooth mode.
