Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EWEADN V97 keyboard, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

1. Keyboard Not Connecting/Responding

• 2.4GHz: Ensure the USB dongle is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port.
• Bluetooth: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Forget the device in your device's Bluetooth settings and attempt to re-pair. Try a different Bluetooth channel (Fn+1/2/3).
• Wired: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and your device. Try a different USB-C cable or port.
• Restart: Restart your computer/device and the keyboard.

2. Backlight Not Working or Incorrect
