2. Charging the Keypad

The Sandberg Wireless Numeric Keypad Pro is rechargeable. Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the device. Connect the provided charging cable to the keypad's charging port and to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). An indicator light will typically show the charging status and turn off or change color when fully charged.

3. Connecting via 2.4 GHz Wireless (USB Receiver)

1. Locate the USB receiver (dongle) that came with your keypad. It may be stored in a compartment on the keypad itself.
2. Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
3. Turn on the numeric keypad. There is usually a power switch on the side or back of the device.
4. Your computer should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. The keypad should be ready for use within a few seconds.

4. Connecting via Bluetooth

1. Ensure the numeric keypad is turned on and in Bluetooth pairing mode. This usually involves pressing and holding a dedicated Bluetooth button or a combination of keys until an indicator light flashes. Refer to the keypad's specific instructions for entering pairing mode.
2. On your computer or device, open the Bluetooth settings.
3. Search for new Bluetooth devices. The keypad should appear as "Sandberg Numeric Keypad Pro" or a similar name.
4. Select the keypad from the list to initiate pairing. Follow any on-screen prompts, such as entering a PIN, if required.
5. Once paired, the indicator light on the keypad will typically stop flashing and remain solid, indicating a successful connection.

Note: The keypad supports both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth. You may need to switch between modes using a dedicated switch or key combination on the keypad if you intend to use both.

Power Saving Mode

To conserve battery life, the keypad will enter a sleep mode after a period of inactivity. To wake the keypad, simply press any key. It may take a moment for the connection to re-establish with your computer.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your numeric keypad, ensure it is turned off and disconnected from any power source. Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the keypad. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface and key legends.

Charging

When the battery is low, an indicator light on the keypad will typically signal this. Connect the keypad to a USB power source using the provided charging cable. Avoid overcharging by disconnecting the cable once the battery is full.

Storage

When not in use for extended periods, store the keypad in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for a long time, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Keypad not responding:
  • Ensure the keypad is turned on.
  • Check battery level and charge if necessary.
  • For 2.4 GHz connection: Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port.
  • For Bluetooth connection: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the keypad is paired. Try re-pairing the device.
  • If the keypad entered sleep mode, press any key to wake it up.
• Keys are laggy or unresponsive:
  • Ensure the keypad is fully charged. Low battery can affect performance.
  • Reduce the distance between the keypad and the receiver/device, and remove any potential obstructions.
  • If using 2.4 GHz, try plugging the USB receiver into a different USB port, preferably a direct port on the computer rather than a hub.
  • If using Bluetooth, check for interference from other wireless devices.
• Specific keys (e.g., =, (, )) not working in certain programs (e.g., Excel):
  • This can sometimes be due to software-specific key mapping or operating system settings. Check your program's settings for keyboard shortcuts or input methods.
  • Ensure your operating system's keyboard layout matches your physical keypad layout.
• Keypad disconnects frequently:
  • This could be a power-saving feature. Adjust power management settings on your computer to prevent USB devices or Bluetooth from being turned off to save power.
  • Ensure the keypad is fully charged.
  • Check for strong wireless interference.
