5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To clean the keyboard case, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the TPU material and electronic components. For the keyboard keys, use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris.
5.2 Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the keyboard case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the keyboard is turned off to conserve battery life.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Bluetooth Connection Issues
- Keyboard not appearing in Bluetooth devices: Ensure the keyboard is charged and powered on. For first-time pairing, press Fn + Z to activate pairing mode.
- Connection drops frequently: Ensure the keyboard is within the effective Bluetooth range (typically 10 meters). Check for interference from other wireless devices.
- Keyboard unresponsive: Try turning the keyboard off and on again. If the issue persists, unpair the keyboard from your iPad's Bluetooth settings and re-pair it.
6.2 Internal Rattling Sound
If you hear an internal rattling sound from the keyboard, this may indicate a loose internal component. While some users have reported this, it does not always affect functionality. If the sound is significant or affects performance, please contact customer support for assistance. Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself, as this may void the warranty.
6.3 Touchpad Lag
Some users may experience slight lag with the touchpad. Ensure your iPad's operating system is updated to the latest version. If you prefer, you can disable the touchpad and use the iPad's touchscreen directly.
