5.1 Connectivity Issues

• Keyboard not responding:
  • Ensure the keyboard's ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Check if the AAA batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify that the 2.4G USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port on your device. Try a different USB port.

  • Ensure keycaps are properly seated. If a key feels stuck, gently remove the keycap with the puller and reattach it.
  • Clean any debris under the keycaps (refer to Maintenance section).
