Cleaning

To maintain the cleanliness and functionality of your keyboard case:

• Periodically remove your iPad from the case and gently wipe the interior surfaces with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• For the keyboard and exterior, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard Not Connecting

• Ensure the keyboard is powered on and fully charged.
• Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your iPad.
• Go to iPad Settings > Bluetooth and ensure "typecase Keyboard" is listed as "Connected." If not, try to "Forget This Device" and re-pair.
• Restart both your iPad and the keyboard.

Trackpad Issues

• If the trackpad is unresponsive, ensure it is enabled in your iPad's settings: Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch (ensure it's off if you prefer standard trackpad behavior, or configure it if you use it).
• Some users report needing to physically click the trackpad rather than just tapping. This is a design characteristic.
• If accidental touches occur while typing, consider disabling the trackpad temporarily via iPad settings or using an external mouse.

Keys Not Responding or Lagging

• Ensure the keyboard is fully charged. Low battery can affect performance.
• Verify the Bluetooth connection is stable.
• Clean any debris from around the keys.
