Functionality and Features
• To conserve power, the keyboard can be
turned off when not in use by holding down
the “Power” button. The red LED will flash
once indicating the keyboard has turned off.
The same key will then turn the power back
on. Each time the keyboard is powered off it
will need to be paired with the host again.
• To turn the red LED backlighting on, press
the “Light Bulb” button in the upper left corner
of the keyboard. To make it brighter press the
“Light Bulb” button two more times.
Standby/Sleep Mode
• After 10 seconds of inactivity, the unit will
go into Sleep Mode. This is a power saving
feature on the keyboard that will put it in a
low power state until needed again. To wake
the unit from sleep mode press any key. We
recommend pressing the space bar to prevent
interference with any programs on your
computer.
