Operating Instructions
1. Adjusting Viewing Angles
The ZAGG Folio features a unique hinge design that allows you to position your iPad Air at various viewing angles, up to 135 degrees. Gently adjust the screen to your preferred angle for comfortable typing, viewing, or media consumption.

2. Backlit Keys
The keyboard is equipped with backlit keys, enabling comfortable typing in low-light environments. Press the backlight key (often marked with a sun or lightbulb icon) to cycle through different brightness levels and color options. Be aware that using the backlight feature will increase battery consumption.
3. Special Function Keys
The top row of the keyboard includes dedicated function keys for quick access to common iPad features. These include controls for Home, Lock, Siri, volume adjustment, media playback, and more. Refer to the key legends printed on the keyboard for specific functions.
4. Sleep/Wake Function
Cleverly placed magnets within the folio case automatically activate your iPad Air's sleep/wake function when the case is opened or closed. This feature helps conserve your iPad's battery life.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To clean the ZAGG Folio case and keyboard, use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the device. Ensure no liquid enters the keyboard or iPad ports.
2. Battery Management
To maximize the keyboard's battery life, turn off the keyboard when it is not in use. The automatic sleep/wake function of the iPad, activated by closing the case, also contributes to battery conservation. Recharge the keyboard promptly when the battery indicator signals low power.
