Setup and Connection

1. Charging the Keyboard

Before first use, fully charge the keyboard. Connect the supplied micro USB cable to the keyboard's charging port and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).

Note: It is recommended to use a standard phone charger (not fast charging) to extend battery life.

2. Powering On/Off

Locate the power switch on the side or back of the keyboard. Slide the switch to the "ON" position to power on the keyboard. Slide it to "OFF" to power off.
