2.4G Pairing Troubleshooting:
If the green LED flashes instead of staying solid, it means the keyboard is not paired. Follow these steps:

2. Plug the USB dongle into your device. The flashing green LED should become solid within 60 seconds upon successful pairing.

Ensure the keyboard is fully charged before attempting to pair. The default mode when the keyboard powers on is 2.4G. It will switch to Bluetooth mode if it doesn't detect a receiver within approximately nine seconds.

7. Maintenance and Charging

7.1. Charging the Battery

The Rii I4 keyboard uses a built-in lithium-ion battery. Please use only approved USB cables and chargers. It is recommended to fully charge the unit before initial operation. The keyboard can be used while charging, but this may extend the charging time.

When the battery is low, the blue/green LED indicator will blink to warn you. The unit will automatically turn off if the battery is completely depleted.

Important Charging Notes:

• The provided USB cable is for charging only and cannot be used for data transfer.
• Always disconnect the charging cable once the battery is fully charged to prevent overcharging.
• Overcharging can shorten the battery life.

7.2. General Maintenance

• Do not attempt to disassemble the device or replace the rechargeable battery yourself, unless it is the easily replaceable BL-5B battery type.
• The battery will naturally discharge if stored for a long time without operation.
• Keep this device away from fluids, such as water.
• Clean the keyboard with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

7.3. Disposal

Always dispose of the used appliance at a recycling center. Do not dispose of the used appliance together with household waste.

8. Troubleshooting

• Keyboard not connecting (2.4G): If the green LED flashes, try the 2.4G pairing troubleshooting steps in Section 5.1. Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged in and there are no obstacles between the keyboard and the receiver.
• Keyboard not connecting (Bluetooth): If the blue LED flashes, try the Bluetooth pairing tip in Section 5.2. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the keyboard is in Bluetooth mode.
• Signal Interference: When working with devices like Android TV boxes or Smart TVs, large monitors may cause signal interference, leading to short range or unresponsive buttons. Try moving the USB receiver from the back of your device to a front USB port, then re-pair and use the keyboard.
• Keyboard unresponsive: Ensure the keyboard is charged. If the battery is low, the blue/green LED will flash. Charge the keyboard fully.
• Backlight not working: Ensure the backlight is turned on using FN + F2. The backlight automatically turns off after 1 minute of inactivity.
