Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean your keyboard, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Life
The keyboard offers up to 10 days of battery life on a full charge, which may vary based on user and computing conditions, particularly backlighting usage. For optimal battery performance, ensure regular charging and consider adjusting backlighting intensity if extended battery life is desired.
Troubleshooting
Connection Issues
- Ensure the keyboard is powered on and fully charged.
- For Logi Bolt connection, verify the receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port.
- For Bluetooth connection, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the keyboard is in pairing mode. Try re-pairing the device.
- Move the keyboard closer to your computer to rule out range issues.
Backlighting Not Working
- Check the battery level; low battery can disable backlighting.
- Ensure the ambient light sensor is not obstructed.
- Adjust backlighting intensity using the dedicated F-keys.
