3. Search for available Bluetooth devices. You should see "Arteck HB305-2" or a similar name appear in the list.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Repeat these steps for up to two additional devices, assigning each to a different F-key channel (F1, F2, or F3).
