5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Ergonomic Design Benefits
The GM901D keyboard features a split, curved layout and a built-in soft palm rest designed to promote a more natural and relaxed typing posture. This helps to align your wrists and forearms, reducing muscle strain and discomfort during prolonged use.
5.2. Adjustable Kickstands
The keyboard includes front and palm kickstands that allow you to adjust the typing angle to suit your preference, whether seated or standing. Available angles include 5°, 3°, and 1.5°.
5.3. Switching Between Devices
To switch between connected devices (2.4G, BT1, BT2), use the dedicated connection mode switch or buttons located on the keyboard. Simply select the desired channel, and the keyboard will connect to the corresponding paired device.
5.4. Multimedia and Function Keys
The keyboard features 12 shortcut keys for multimedia control and other functions. These keys are typically accessed by pressing the "Fn" key in combination with the desired function key (F1-F12).
Some models may include an "FN-Lock" feature, allowing you to toggle between standard F-key functionality and multimedia functions without holding down the "Fn" key. Refer to the keyboard's specific markings for details.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the keyboard surface. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the keyboard. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Battery Replacement: When the keyboard's performance degrades or it stops responding, replace the AAA batteries. Ensure proper polarity during installation.
- Storage: Store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Spill Resistance: While the keyboard may have some waterproof features, avoid exposing it to excessive liquids. In case of a spill, immediately disconnect the power, remove batteries, and allow it to dry completely before reuse.
7. Troubleshooting
- Keyboard not responding:
- Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
- Ensure the keyboard is turned on.
- Verify the connection mode (2.4G, BT1, BT2) matches your device's connection.
- For 2.4G, ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port.
- For Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the keyboard is properly paired. Try re-pairing the keyboard.
- Restart your computer/device.
- Keys not working or delayed input:
- Check battery level.
- Ensure there are no obstructions under the keys.
- Move closer to the USB receiver or Bluetooth device to reduce interference.
- If using 2.4G, try plugging the receiver into a different USB port, preferably a direct port on the computer rather than a hub.
- Cannot connect to a new Bluetooth device:
- Ensure the keyboard is in pairing mode (indicator light blinking rapidly).
- Check if your device's Bluetooth is enabled and discoverable.
- If you have previously paired the keyboard with many devices, some operating systems might have a limit. Try removing old pairings from your device.
8. User Tips
- Optimal Posture: Take advantage of the keyboard's ergonomic design. Position your hands so your wrists are straight and relaxed, not bent up or down. The split layout encourages a natural arm angle.
- Adjustable Angles: Experiment with the adjustable kickstands (5°, 3°, 1.5°) to find the angle that feels most comfortable for your wrists and forearms, whether you are sitting or standing.
- Multi-Device Efficiency: Utilize the dual Bluetooth channels (BT1, BT2) to quickly switch between your computer, tablet, or smartphone, enhancing your workflow.
