Operating Instructions

Using the Keyboard

Backlit Keys

The keyboard includes a backlight feature for typing in low-light conditions.

Pressing this key repeatedly will cycle through brightness levels or turn the backlight off. This model supports single-color backlighting.

Adjustable Viewing Angles

The unique hinge design allows you to position your tablet at various viewing angles, up to 135 degrees. Adjust the tablet to your preferred angle for typing, viewing, or interacting with the touchscreen.

Sleep/Wake Function

The ZAGG Folio utilizes magnets to automatically put your tablet to sleep when the case is closed and wake it up when opened. This feature helps conserve your tablet's battery life.
