The WKB-802A Keyboard greatly reduces the power consumption automatically when it is in idle mode (connected, but no keying).

The WKB-802A Keyboard shows an erratic behavior such as a sudden loss of connection, sleep mode after a short time (i.e. only a few seconds), no connection possible when trying to pair, etc. Erratic behavior of the WKB-802A Keyboard can be a result of (too) low battery power. You should change the batteries now. 2. The “clear” key under Windows™ has different and sometimes strange functions such as delete forward, delete backwards, no function at all, numlock function, clear all, etc. The WKB-802A Keyboard is designed to work with Mac OS X. However, it can be used with certain Windows™ OS and programs as well but without support from the manufacturer. The “clear” key under Windows™ OS is basically equal to numlock. However, it can have different functions depending on the software being used. This shortcoming cannot be changed. Use “delete” and “delete forward” instead to clear any characters and try to avoid using the “clear” key while working with Windows™ OS. 3. The function of F1 ~F12 keys under Windows™ has different and sometimes strange functions. The WKB-802A Keyboard is designed to work with Mac OS X. However, these function keys can be used by holding “Fn” key and pressing F1 or F2 and etc. The function will be same as Windows™ OS. 4. Can the WKB-802A Keyboard be connected with various Macintosh™ computers, i.e. an iMac and a MacBook, and switch back and forth? No, the WKB-802 can only be connected with one Macintosh™ computer at a time. When switching to another Macintosh™, the pairing needs to be redone. It is recommended to delete the “Bluetooth mini Keyboard” first before re-pairing is performed. You can delete it by choosing the “Bluetooth mini Keyboard” and clicking on the “-“ sign in the left window. Follow the steps under “Bluetooth Pairing under Mac OS X”. 5. Can the battery power status be read in the Apple™ System Preferences like with the Apple™ wireless keyboard? No, there is no reading for the current battery power status. Once the battery power is low, the LED will flash very slowly in green or WKB-802A Keyboard will display an erratic behavior like loosing the connection all the time, having difficulty to do the pairing, etc.
6. On the WKB-802A Keyboard, there is a “.” (decimal) key. In my language, the “,” is used as the decimal sign. Will the WKB-802A Keyboard display a “.” or a “,”? Whether the WKB-802A Keyboard displays a “.” or a “,” depends on the Mac OS installed (keyboard layout/language), i.e. in French OS/keyboard layout, the decimal key displays a “,” while in Swiss OS/keyboard layout, a “.” is displayed. 7. During the process of pairing the WKB-802A Keyboard with the Macintosh™, there is a window displayed called “Keyboard identification”. I am supposed to press the key next to the shift key.
