Tip til opladning

For optimal performance and battery longevity, charge the keyboard using a computer’s USB port or a DC 5V 1A charger.

To conserve battery life, the keyboard’s backlight adjusts based on inactivity periods:

• After 1 minute of inactivity: The backlight turns off. Press any key to reactivate.
• After 60 minutes of inactivity: The keyboard enters deep sleep mode with the backlight disabled. Press any key to wake the keyboard within 3 seconds, then manually turn on the backlight if desired.
