Avoiding damage

Damage to the keyboard

Do not remove the key caps.

The magnet can wipe storage media and damage mechanical watches

Do not bring storage media, such as magnetic cards or external hard drives, or mechanical clocks closer than 10 cm to the receiver on the back of the keyboard.

Switching the keyboard on/off

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

The key with the set connection type ( ) lights up for 5 seconds if the connection is successful.
When not in use for an extended period of time, the keyboard enters sleep mode where it uses 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.

Connecting the keyboard to the PC/ laptop

You can connect the keyboard with receiver to the PC/ laptop via a 2.4 GHz wireless connection, Bluetooth or the USB cable.
Switching between the connection methods is convenient if you want to use the keyboard on multiple devices

Connecting the keyboard via the receiver

Pull the receiver out of the magnetic socket on the back of the keyboard.
Connect the receiver to a USB 2.0 port on your PC/ laptop if possible (this usually has a white or black guide).
Switch on the keyboard (set the switch on the back of the keyboard to “I”).
Press the FN key and the F1 key ( ) simultaneously.
While the connection is being established, the F1 key ( ) flashes. After no more than 30 seconds, the F1 key ( ) lights up green for 5 seconds to confirm and the keyboard is connected to your PC/ laptop.
If the F1 key ( ) flashes green rapidly for 5 seconds, the connection has failed.
• Try again

Connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth

Bluetooth version
You need a PC/laptop with a Bluetooth receiver that supports at least Bluetooth 4.0

Open the search for Bluetooth devices on your PC/ laptop (for example via Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth).
Follow the software instructions.
Switch on the keyboard (set the switch on the back of the keyboard to “I”).
Press the FN key and F2 key ( ) or F3 key ( ) simultaneously for 5 seconds with the Bluetooth channel you want to connect the keyboard to the PC/laptop. The key flashes blue slowly. From this point, you can establish a connection within 30 seconds.
Follow the software instructions.
The corresponding Bluetooth key will light up blue for 5 seconds to confirm, and the keyboard is connected to your PC/laptop. If the key flashes blue rapidly for 5 seconds, the connection has failed.
• Try again.

Switch on the keyboard (set the switch on the back of the keyboard to “I”).
Press the FN key and the F4 key ( ) simultaneously.
If you do not press the F4 key ( ), the keyboard will only be charged via the cable (see 8 “Charging the battery”).

• Try again.

The key for the corresponding connection ( ) lights up for 5 seconds

Changing the connection type

If you have set up the keyboard with multiple devices using different connection types, you can switch between these devices

Press the FN key and the corresponding key ( ) simultaneously. While the connection is being established, the key for the connection type flashes. Within 30 seconds, the corresponding key ( ) lights up for 5 seconds to confirm and the keyboard is connected to your PC/laptop. If the corresponding key ( ) flashes rapidly for 5 seconds, the connection has failed.
Try again.

Stowing the receiver in the keyboard

The receiver is so small that it can stay in the USB port of a laptop while being transported. If you want to protect it from dirt and loss, remove it and store it in the keyboard.

Charging the battery

If the voltage of the keyboard batteries drops the LEDs of the keyboard flash ten times, after this the signal stops.
This happens if you work with the keyboard after starting the PC/laptop or if you rouse it from sleep mode. Charging the batteries in good time prolongs their service life.

Connect the charging cable to the socket on the keyboard and a USB port or USB mains adapter. Your power source (PC/laptop) must be switched on. You can continue to work while it is charging. The LED on the back of the keyboard lights up red.

When the LED on the back of the keyboard goes off, the keyboard battery is fully charged. The charging circuit prevents overcharging.

Activating additional functions on the function keys

There are red symbols on some keys that allow you to perform additional functions.
When the LED of the FN key is off (factory setting):

For the standard function (white lettering), press the key.
Or:
For the function of a symbol, press the FN key and the key with the corresponding symbol simultaneously

Locking/unlocking the FN key

If you frequently use the functions of the red symbols on the F keys, you can lock the FN key (FN lock).

Press the CTRL key and the FN key simultaneously.

When the LED of the FN key lights up red, the functions of the red symbols of the F keys are executed.
When the LED of the FN key does not light up, the standard functions of the function keys are executed.

There is no FN lock with red symbols on the arrow keys.
FN lock only works for the functions of the F keys.

You can still start the “Previous track”, “Start/ Pause” and “Next track” functions by pressing the FN key simultaneously.

Customizing the keyboard configuration

With the CHERRY KEYS software you can freely assign many of the keys on the keyboard. This means you can access apps, files, individual text modules or macros at the touch of a key.
You can obtain CHERRY KEYS as a free download at www.cherry.de.
Give it a go!

Cleaning the keyboard

Switch the keyboard off.
NOTE! Aggressive cleaning agents and liquids can damage the keyboard
• Do not use solvents such as gasoline or alcohol and scouring agents or scouring sponges for cleaning.
• Prevent liquids from entering the keyboard.
Clean the keyboard with a slightly damp cloth and some mild cleaning agent (e.g. dishwashing liquid).
Dry off the keyboard with a soft, lint-free cloth.

If the keyboard is not working

If one of the keys for the connection type ( ) flashes for a prolonged period after a write attempt, this means that this connection type is set and the keyboard cannot establish a connection. Change the connection type (see 6 “Changing the connection type”) or establish the connection again (see 4 “Connecting the keyboard to the PC/laptop”).
Switch the keyboard off and on again.
Check that the appropriate connection type is set (see 6 “Changing the connection type”).
Charge the keyboard via the charging cable (see 8 “Charging the battery”).
Remove any objects causing interference between the keyboard and the PC/laptop. Interference is caused in particular by metallic or electrical objects such as cables, loudspeakers or USB hubs.
Reduce the distance between the keyboard and the PC/laptop.
Should any interference be encountered when using USB 3.0 devices right near the receiver: use a port that is further away, an additional cable, or a USB hub for the receiver or USB 3.0 device.
To reset the keyboard to factory settings, insert a pen (or paper clip) into the small hole (R) on the back of the keyboard and pressing it for 3 seconds. This will also wipe the connection information.

Rectifying a connection fault using the receiver

Connect the receiver to a USB 2.0 port on your PC/laptop (this usually has a white or black guide). Malfunctions occasionally occur on USB 3.0 ports (blue guide).
Connect the receiver to another USB 2.0 port on the PC/laptop.
Reduce the distance between the receiver and the keyboard by connecting the receiver to a USB port that is close to the keyboard.
Use a USB extension cable to place the receiver as close to the keyboard as possible.

Rectifying a Bluetooth connection fault

Check whether the internal receiver of your PC/ laptop supports at least Bluetooth standard 4.0. Lower versions are not supported.
If your PC/laptop is in standby mode, it cannot be woken up using Bluetooth devices. Switch on the PC/laptop manually.
If the keyboard is already connected to another PC/laptop, you cannot make a parallel connection. Turn off the first PC/laptop or deactivate the connections.
Operation of several Bluetooth devices on a PC/laptop
When too many Bluetooth devices are connected, it may be too much for the Bluetooth receivers in the PC/laptop.
Turn off any unnecessary Bluetooth devices.
Remove the connection to the keyboard in the Bluetooth software and add it again as a new device.
Use an external Bluetooth receiver.
Connect the keyboard via the receiver or cable
