Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Keyboard

To maintain the keyboard's appearance and functionality:

• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

The integrated 6000 mAh Lithium Ion battery requires proper care:

• Avoid exposing the keyboard to extreme temperatures.
• Charge the battery regularly, even if not in frequent use, to prevent deep discharge.
• If storing the keyboard for an extended period, ensure the battery is charged to approximately 50%.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your IQUNIX ZX75 keyboard, refer to the following common solutions:

• Keyboard Not Responding:
  Ensure the keyboard is charged. Check the connection mode switch (Wired, 2.4GHz, Bluetooth) and ensure it matches your intended connection. For wired connection, try a different USB port or cable. For wireless, re-pair the device or try a different USB port for the 2.4GHz receiver.
• Bluetooth Connection Issues:
  If experiencing interference, especially with other wireless devices like a trackpad, try switching to the 2.4GHz wireless mode or a wired connection. Ensure the keyboard is within range of your device.
• Keys Not Registering or Missing Keycaps/Switches:
  Verify that all keycaps and switches are properly seated. If a keycap or switch is missing or damaged upon arrival, contact customer support. The hot-swappable design allows for individual switch replacement if needed.
• RGB Backlight Not Working:
  Ensure the backlight is enabled via function keys or software. Check if the battery level is sufficient, as low battery can affect lighting performance.
• System Mode Not Switching:
  Ensure you are holding FN + TAB for the full 5 seconds to switch between Windows and Mac modes.
