3. How to use the keyboard

After successful launch of the keyboard enjoy now a free and independent choice of location up to approx. 10 m distance to the PC. More or less range can be caused, like mentioned above, by metallic dividing walls, other computer cases, monitors, ZIP drives, loudspeakers, switching power supplies etc., but also by different loading capacity of the batteries. The status LEDs on the front side of your Bluetooth keyboard inform you about the current operating condition.

3.1 Meaning of status LEDs

• Pairing-LED It is used to indicate the Bluetooth keyboard is in pairing mode (searching a Bluetooth receiver). When the pairing button is pressed, the LED flashes till a receiver has been found or the relevant computer stops pairing in advance.

• Reconnecting-LED It is used to indicate that the Bluetooth keyboard is reconnecting to the already founded receiver after waking up or power up via the accordant authority (registered password or PIN).

• Battery Low-LED It is used to indicate that the battery is below 2.4 Volts. It keeps on until new battery is installed or the battery is total used up. It is flashing only while the keyboard is not in sleep mode.

3.2 Operating modes of the Bluetooth keyboard

• Sleep-Mode After 15 minutes of no keyboard input, the Bluetooth keyboard will automatically enter into sleep mode to preserve battery power.

• Wake up-Mode To wake the Bluetooth keyboard up, press any key of the keypad (not the L and R button of touchpad or the touchpad itself!).

• Reconnect-Mode After reactivation the keyboard reconnects automatically with the Bluetooth dongle. Depending on environmental conditions for the radio transmission it takes less than a second or up to several minutes to reconnect. In the meantime, the Reconnection-LED is blinking.… touch the difference

As a mouse alternative the keyboard is equipped with an improved Smart-Touchpad inclusive two mouse function keys allowing comfortable and ergonomic handling of the PC, for instance from a sofa. Thereby the handling of the touchpad is as simple as brilliant.

Gently glide over the touchpad surface with your finger in order to move the cursor, and tap on the surface in order to “click".

• Click, double-click, marking, and drag functions can be performed directly by tapping on the surface of the touchpad. You don’t need to apply a lot of pressure in order to do that. You will get the best reaction by clicking gently and rapidly (optional you can use for that the mouse function keys as well).

• In order to "drag", to draw, or to mark, you must apply a double-click on the touchpad with the finger remaining on the touchpad after the second click. Then, glide over the touchpad with your finger in order to complete the movement.

• Put two fingers on the Touchpad and glide over it to scroll up and down in your application (identically to a mouse scroll wheel).

• Tap with three fingers on the surface of the touchpad to retrieve the context menu at the related position of the cursor (identically to a right mouse button).

• Using notebooks with already integrated touchpad and mouse function keys you have to de-activate these intern control devices in case of error messages or malfunctions*. In order to increase or decrease the speed of the cursor movements, change the settings of the mouse options in your system control under Windows*. Advice: The sensitivity and the deactivation of the click-function of the touchpad cannot be changed. There is also no separate driver supporting these settings.

• Refer to the documentation of your PC for details.

3.4 Keys with double functions

• The layout of the keyboard is a special space-saving layout with the same virtual numeric keypad also used in notebooks. Press the NumLk key in the top key row in order to switch the virtual numeric keypad function on and off. (Characters depicted in blue are assigned to the keys) Mouse function keys Virtu

With activated NumLk function you can hold the key Fn in the left down corner pressed deactivating the virtual numeric keypad temporarily. This is particularly convenient to quickly enter letters apart from numbers.

• Without previously activating the NumLk key, the holding down of the Fn key will control the integrated position keys in the same way as an external keypad (please refer to the picture). Home

• Only ACK-340 BT: Independent of the status of the NumLK function (active or not), further double functions are available by keeping the Fn pressed together with Alt Gr, F11, F12, ScrLk, PgUp, Home, PgDn, End. In case you need e. g. „€“-symbol, you have to press the following keys simultaneously: Fn + Alt Gr + „E“

4. How to clean the keyboard
