Setup Instructions

1. Charging the Keyboard

Before initial use, fully charge the keyboard. Connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the keyboard's charging port and the other end to a USB power adapter (not included). The charging indicator light will show the charging status. A full charge takes approximately 4 hours.

2. Attaching the iPad and Keyboard

The Dracool Keyboard Case features a two-part design: a protective back panel for your iPad and a detachable keyboard. The back panel magnetically attaches to your iPad, and the keyboard then magnetically connects to the back panel.

1. Place your iPad into the protective back panel. Ensure it is securely seated.
2. Align the keyboard with the bottom edge of the iPad's back panel. The magnets will automatically snap the keyboard into place.

3. Bluetooth Pairing

1. Ensure the keyboard is charged.
2. Turn on the keyboard by sliding the power switch to the 'ON' position. The Bluetooth indicator light will start blinking, indicating it's in pairing mode.
3. On your iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
4. Turn on Bluetooth. Your iPad will search for available devices.
5. Select "Dracool Keyboard" from the list of devices.
6. Once paired, the Bluetooth indicator light on the keyboard will stop blinking and remain solid for a few seconds before turning off. The keyboard is now connected and ready for use.

Maintenance

• Avoid exposing the product to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or liquids.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard Not Connecting via Bluetooth

• Ensure the keyboard is charged and turned on.
• Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPad.
• Try unpairing and re-pairing the keyboard: Go to iPad Settings > Bluetooth, tap the "i" icon next to "Dracool Keyboard", then select "Forget This Device". Repeat the pairing steps.
• Restart both your iPad and the keyboard.
• Ensure the keyboard is within the effective Bluetooth range (typically 10 meters).

Incorrect Key Output / Special Characters Not Working

If certain keys, especially special characters like '@', 'Ñ', or accented vowels, do not produce the expected output, the keyboard layout setting on your iPad may not match the physical keyboard's layout.

1. On your iPad, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard.
2. Check the listed keyboard layout. If it's incorrect (e.g., set to English (US) for a Spanish keyboard), tap on it and select the appropriate layout (e.g., Spanish (Spain) or Spanish (Latin America)).
3. For common special characters on a Spanish layout:
   • @ (at symbol): Usually Alt Gr + 2 or Option + 2.
   • Ñ (enye): Typically a dedicated key to the right of 'L'.
   • Accents (á, é, í, ó, ú): Press the accent key (often next to 'P' or 'Ñ') then the vowel.
   • ¿ (inverted question mark): Usually Shift + Alt Gr + ? or Shift + Option + ?.
   • ¡ (inverted exclamation mark): Usually Shift + Alt Gr + ! or Shift + Option + !.
4. If the issue persists, try resetting your iPad's keyboard dictionary (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary).

Trackpad Not Responding

• Ensure the keyboard is connected via Bluetooth.
• Check iPad settings: Go to Settings > General > Trackpad & Mouse. Ensure "Trackpad" is enabled.
• Clean the trackpad surface to remove any dirt or debris.
• Restart the keyboard and iPad.
