3. Pairing with Devices (Up to 3 Devices)
Your Arteck HB305-2 keyboard can connect to three different Bluetooth-enabled devices. Follow these steps for each device:
- Press and hold the Fn key, then press one of the Bluetooth channel keys (F1, F2, or F3) for 3-5 seconds until the corresponding Bluetooth indicator light (green for F1, blue for F2, red for F3) starts blinking rapidly. This indicates the keyboard is in pairing mode.
- On your device (computer, tablet, smartphone), go to Bluetooth settings.
- Search for available Bluetooth devices. You should see "Arteck HB305-2" or a similar name appear in the list.
- Select "Arteck HB305-2" to initiate the connection. Your device may prompt you to enter a pairing code displayed on its screen. Type this code on the Arteck keyboard and press Enter.
- Once successfully paired, the Bluetooth indicator light on the keyboard will stop blinking and remain solid for a few seconds before turning off, indicating a successful connection.
- Repeat these steps for up to two additional devices, assigning each to a different F-key channel (F1, F2, or F3).
