Using Your Keyboard

Keyboard Backlighting

The keyboard features automatic backlighting that adjusts to ambient light levels. There are three intensity levels:

• Bright light: No keyboard illumination.
• Poor light: Full intensity backlight.
• Dark: Half intensity backlight.

You can manually override the automatic setting by pressing the [sun icon] key to cycle through the intensity levels.

Please note:

• Backlighting turns off automatically when the battery charge is low to conserve power.
• Automatic backlight control is restored after the keyboard is idle for 30 minutes or more, or after being turned off and back on.

Touchpad Gestures

Note: To disable touchpad gestures and tap-to-click, press the Fn key plus the left mouse click button. To re-enable them, press the Fn key plus the left mouse click button again.

Recharging Your Keyboard

Your keyboard is rechargeable. A full charge provides up to 10 days of use (with backlight on, typing ~2 hours/day) or about one year (without backlight).

The battery indicator shows the charge level when the keyboard is turned on.

To charge, connect the keyboard to a computer using the supplied Micro-USB charging cable. The battery indicator will blink green during charging. Charge until the indicator light stops blinking. You can use the keyboard while it charges.

Note: If the battery power is low (indicator blinking red), the keyboard backlight is disabled.

Function Keys

The keyboard includes dedicated function keys (F1-F12) and hot keys.

Function Keys (F1-F12)

• F1: Adjust backlight intensity
• F2: Minimize window
• F3: Maximize window
• F4: Close window
• F5: Switch screen (e.g., show laptop display on TV)
• F6: Show / Hide desktop
• F7: Windows search
• F8: Launch Web browser
• F9: Launch media player
• F10: Previous track
• F11: Play/pause track

Fn Key Combinations

• Fn + Del: Sleep mode
• Fn + Backspace: Print screen
• Fn + Caps Lock: Scroll lock
• Fn + Pg Up: Page up
• Fn + Pg Dn: Page down

Note:

• For keys F1 to F12, pressing the key directly performs its primary function (e.g., Adjust backlight intensity). Pressing Fn + the key selects the standard F1, F2, etc. function.
• For other function keys (Ins, Del, etc.), pressing Fn + the key performs the listed secondary function.
• The Logitech software can be used to reverse this requirement, allowing Fn key presses to be the default for function keys.

Hot Keys

• Volume Down: ? Decrease volume
• Volume Up: ? Increase volume

The Logitech Unifying Receiver

Your new Logitech product includes a Unifying receiver, allowing for a single USB port to connect multiple compatible Logitech devices.

Getting Started is Easy

1. Make sure your Unifying receiver is plugged in.
2. If you haven't already, download and install the Logitech software for your keyboard.
3. Start the software and follow the on-screen instructions to pair the new wireless device with your existing Unifying receiver.

Plug it. Forget it. Add to it.

You can add compatible Logitech wireless devices that use the Unifying system to the same receiver. Look for the orange Unifying logo on devices or their packaging. This allows you to build your ideal setup using only one USB port for up to six devices.
