Frequently Asked Questions - Folding Keyboard Matias

What do the flashing lights mean?

The blue light flashes when the keyboard is on and trying to connect; it stops when connected. The yellow light flashes briefly when turning off, indicating it's safe to fold. The red light flashes when batteries are low.

How do I connect the keyboard to my BlackBerry?

First, install the Matias Keyboard driver from www.installer.cc on your BlackBerry. Then turn on the keyboard (blue light flashes). Open the Set Up Bluetooth app, add a device, select 'Matias Keyboard - Smartphone', enter passkey 1234, and press Enter. After pairing, open the Matias Keyboard application and turn it ON.

Why does my keyboard send random key presses when I close it?

This happens if you close the keyboard while it's still connected. Always turn the keyboard off by pressing the On/Off button (yellow light flashes) before folding it closed. If you see random inputs, turn off the keyboard and driver.

How can I stop the 'connection lost' messages?

When you are not using the keyboard, turn the keyboard driver software off from the driver menu. This stops the messages and also saves your BlackBerry's battery.

Some keys (like PgUp/PgDown) don't work as expected. Is this normal?

Yes. The BlackBerry is not a PC and was not designed for PC keyboards. Some keys may work in certain apps but not others. This is normal. The keyboard is optimized for standard shortcuts like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and arrow navigation.

The driver stopped connecting to my keyboard. What should I do?

Try turning the driver off and then on again. If that doesn't help, restart your BlackBerry. If the problem persists, check that the keyboard has fresh batteries.

I can't pair new Bluetooth devices anymore. How can I fix this?

First, turn OFF the keyboard driver. Then pair your new device normally. After pairing, turn the keyboard driver back ON. If issues continue, restart your BlackBerry.

I see an error 'Injector API policy'. What does this mean?

This occurs due to BES Application Control Policy blocking keystroke injection. Contact your BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) administrator and ask them to follow the instructions at http://matias.ca/besconfig.

How do I create custom keyboard shortcuts?

Open the Matias Keyboard driver, go to Hot Keys... menu, and select options to create shortcuts for opening apps, dialing numbers, or opening web pages.

How long is the warranty and what does it cover?

The Matias Folding Keyboard comes with a 1-year limited warranty against defects in workmanship and materials. For support, contact [e-mail] or call 1-905-265-8844. Matias will repair or replace the product at its option.
