4. Operating Instructions

4.1. General Usage

The INLAND 71102 Bluetooth Keyboard functions like a standard QWERTY keyboard. Simply type as you would on any other keyboard. Ensure your device's input language settings are configured correctly for optimal performance.

4.2. Special Function Keys

The keyboard includes several function keys (often accessed by pressing the Fn key in combination with other keys) and dedicated media control keys. These may include:

• Volume Controls: Keys for increasing, decreasing, or muting audio.
• Media Playback: Keys for play/pause, previous track, and next track.
• Screen Lock/Home: A key to return to the home screen or lock the device.
• Brightness Controls: Keys to adjust screen brightness (functionality may vary by device).

Refer to the icons printed on the keys for their specific functions. The exact behavior of these keys can depend on the operating system of your connected device (e.g., iOS, Android, Windows).

4.3. Delete Key Functionality

Please note that the key labeled "delete" on this keyboard functions as a Delete key, removing characters to the right of the cursor. It does not perform the Backspace function (removing characters to the left of the cursor) by default.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your INLAND 71102 Bluetooth Keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:
