Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q: What should I do if the keys have no response after connecting to the computer for the first time?
A: The system automatically installs USB drivers upon the first connection. Please wait for the installation to complete before use.
Q: How do I reset or change the keypad settings after they have been defined?
A: There is no need to reset. Simply set up new functions; the new settings will automatically overwrite and save over the previous ones on the keyboard.
Q: I receive an error message when trying to download settings. What should I do?
A: Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port on your computer. Also, try closing the setting software and reopening it.
Q: My computer is slow or has issues controlling volume after setting multimedia functions. What is the cause?
A: Ensure you close the setting software after completing the setup and configuration.
Q: Can I use this keypad on a Mac system?
A: Yes, the keyboard is compatible with any system that supports USB keyboards. However, you must perform the initial customization on a Windows system first. Remember the key mapping: Win key on Windows corresponds to the Command key on Mac, and Alt on Windows corresponds to the Option key on Mac.
Q: I downloaded the setting software but cannot open it. What is the problem?
A: Check if your antivirus software is blocking the application. If so, configure your antivirus to trust the file and allow it to run.
