5.1 Keyboard Usage

Once paired, the keyboard functions like a standard computer keyboard. Simply open any application on your iPhone that requires text input (e.g., Messages, Notes, Safari) and begin typing. The on-screen keyboard will automatically disappear, allowing you to use the physical keyboard.

• Single Finger Tap: Functions as a left-click to select items or activate buttons.
• Two Finger Scroll: Drag two fingers up or down on the trackpad to scroll through content.
• Cursor Movement: Move a single finger across the trackpad to move the cursor on your iPhone screen.

5.3 Special Function Keys

The keyboard may include function keys (F1-F12) or dedicated media control keys. These keys often require pressing the 'Fn' key simultaneously with the desired function key to activate their secondary functions (e.g., volume control, play/pause, screen lock).
