• Nettoyage: Utilisez un chiffon doux et non pelucheux légèrement dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the keyboard and touchpad surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Stockage: When not in use, keep the keyboard closed to protect the screen of your iPad and the keyboard keys. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
• Manutention: Avoid dropping the keyboard or exposing it to excessive force, which could damage internal components or the magnetic connection.

6. Dépannage

If you encounter issues with your Inateck NEO Magic Keyboard, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Le clavier ne répond pas :
  • Ensure the Smart Connector adapter is securely plugged into both the keyboard and the iPad's USB-C port.
  • Remove and reattach the iPad to the keyboard case to re-establish the connection.
  • Redémarrez votre iPad.
• Intermittent connection/disconnection:
  • Check for any debris or obstructions on the Smart Connector pins on the keyboard and the USB-C port on the iPad. Clean gently if necessary.
  • Ensure the iPad is firmly seated in the magnetic case.
  • Avoid excessive movement or bending of the adapter cable during use.
• Le rétroéclairage ne fonctionne pas :
  • Ensure the keyboard is properly connected and receiving power from the iPad.
  • Presse Fn + Ampoule Touche permettant d'activer ou de désactiver le rétroéclairage.
  • Presse Fn + Flèche haut / bas touches pour régler la luminosité.
• Touchpad not responding or inaccurate:
  • Ensure the touchpad surface is clean and free of moisture or debris.
  • Check iPad settings for touchpad sensitivity and gesture preferences.
  • Déconnectez et reconnectez le clavier.
• Keyboard drains iPad battery quickly:
  • The keyboard draws power from the iPad. Prolonged use, especially with high backlight brightness, may affect iPad battery life.
  • Réduisez la luminosité du rétroéclairage ou éteignez-le lorsque vous n'en avez pas besoin.
  • Disconnect the keyboard when not in active use to conserve iPad battery.
• USB-C port on adapter only charges, no data/display output:
  • The USB-C port on the adapter is designed primarily for power passthrough to the keyboard and does not support data transfer or external display output.
  • For data transfer or external display, connect accessories directly to the iPad's USB-C port (after detaching the keyboard if necessary).
• Keyboard only works after iPad lock screen:
  • This is expected behavior for some iPadOS configurations. You may need to manually unlock your iPad before the keyboard becomes fully active.
