Entretien

Nettoyer votre clavier

Pour maintenir la propreté et le bon fonctionnement de votre clavier, suivez ces instructions :

• Always turn off the keyboard before cleaning.
• Utilisez un chiffon doux et non pelucheux légèrement dampse termine à l'eau ou avec une solution nettoyante douce et non abrasive.
• Évitez de vaporiser les produits nettoyants directement sur le clavier.

• Rechargez régulièrement le clavier, surtout s'il n'est pas utilisé pendant une période prolongée.
• Rangez le clavier dans un endroit frais et sec lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé.

Dépannage

Problèmes de jumelage

• LED light flashing rapidly: This indicates the keyboard is actively searching for a device to pair with. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your host device and it is discoverable.
• LED light flashing slowly: This means the keyboard is attempting to reconnect to a previously paired device. Ensure the paired device's Bluetooth is on and within range.
• Keyboard not appearing in Bluetooth list:
  • Assurez-vous que le clavier est chargé et allumé.
  • Make sure the keyboard is in pairing mode (LED flashing rapidly).
  • Essayez de redémarrer à la fois le clavier et votre appareil hôte.
  • Clear existing Bluetooth connections on your host device if you have too many.

Number Pad Not Working

If your number pad is not functioning, and there is no dedicated "Num Lock" key, you may need to adjust a setting in your macOS:

1. Aller à Préférences système sur votre Mac.
2. Cliquez sur Accessibilité.
3. Faites défiler vers le bas et sélectionnez Contrôle du pointeur.
4. Désactiver the "Enable Mouse Keys" option. This setting can sometimes interfere with the number pad's functionality.

Problèmes généraux de connectivité

• Ensure the keyboard is within the effective range of your Bluetooth device (typically up to 33 feet or 10 meters).
• Minimisez les interférences provenant d'autres appareils sans fil (par exemple, les routeurs Wi-Fi, les téléphones sans fil).
• If issues persist, try unpairing and re-pairing the keyboard with your device.
