7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Connectivity Issues
- Device Not Connecting:
- Ensure the keyboard/mouse is charged and powered on.
- Verify that the correct Bluetooth channel (BT1/BT2) is selected and in pairing mode (flashing indicator).
- On your device, turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
- Remove any previous pairings for the keyboard/mouse from your device's Bluetooth settings and attempt to pair again.
- For 2.4G mouse connection, ensure the USB dongle is securely inserted and the mouse is in 2.4G mode.
- Intermittent Connection:
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the keyboard/mouse and your device.
- Move closer to your device to rule out range issues.
- Check for interference from other wireless devices.
7.2 Incorrect Keyboard Output (e.g., 'Y' appears instead of 'Z')
This issue typically occurs when the device's operating system keyboard layout does not match the physical QWERTZ layout of the Inateck keyboard. To resolve this, adjust your device's keyboard language settings:
For Windows/Android/macOS/iOS:
- Go to your device's Settings.
- Navigate to Language & Input or similar (e.g., "Other settings > Language and input methods" on Android).
- Find Physical Keyboard or Hardware Keyboard settings.
- Select the "Nomad" or "Inateck Keyboard" entry.
- Set the keyboard layout to German (QWERTZ).
7.3 Keyboard Instability
The keyboard's folding hinge does not lock. For stable typing, always ensure the keyboard is placed on a completely flat and firm surface. Avoid using it on uneven surfaces like a lap, bed, or soft cushions, as this can cause the keyboard to fold unexpectedly.
