Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the keyboard. Connect the coiled USB Type-C cable to the keyboard's port and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter). The TFT LCD will indicate charging status.

4.2. Connection Modes

The L98 keyboard supports three connection modes: Wired, 2.4GHz Wireless, and Bluetooth.

1. Wired Connection:

   Connect the provided USB Type-C cable directly from the keyboard to your computer's USB port. The keyboard will automatically switch to wired mode.

2. 2.4GHz Wireless Connection:

   Locate the 2.4GHz USB receiver (dongle) usually stored in a slot on the keyboard. Plug the receiver into an available USB port on your computer. Slide the mode switch on the keyboard to the "2.4G" position. The keyboard should connect automatically.

On your device (PC, tablet, smartphone), go to Bluetooth settings and select "ROYALAXE L98" to pair. Once connected, the indicator light will stop flashing.
