4. Setup

4.1 Initial Assembly (if applicable)

The NUT108 is a kit, meaning switches and keycaps may need to be installed. Ensure the keyboard is powered off before installing switches or keycaps.

Carefully align each mechanical switch with the hot-swap socket on the PCB and press down until it clicks into place. Ensure the pins are straight to avoid bending.
Place the desired keycaps onto the installed switches, pressing gently until they are secure.

4.2 Connecting the Keyboard

The NUT108 supports three connection modes: Wired, 2.4G Wireless, and Bluetooth.

Wired Connection:

Connect the USB Type-C cable to the keyboard's port.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to an available USB port on your computer.
The keyboard will be automatically recognized by your system.

2.4G Wireless Connection:

Locate the 2.4G USB receiver (usually stored in a magnetic compartment on the keyboard).
Plug the 2.4G USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
Switch the keyboard to 2.4G mode using the mode switch (refer to the keyboard's physical layout for exact switch location). The keyboard should automatically connect.

Bluetooth Connection:

Switch the keyboard to Bluetooth mode using the mode switch.
On your computer or device, open Bluetooth settings and search for new devices.
Select "WEIKAV NUT108" (or similar name) from the list of available devices to pair.
Follow any on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process.

4.3 Initial Charging

The keyboard features a 10000mAh large capacity battery. For optimal performance, it is recommended to fully charge the keyboard before its first wireless use. Connect the keyboard via the USB Type-C cable to a computer or a standard USB charger.
