BATTERY & BACKLIGHT USAGE
This keyboard includes a built-in 1500mAh Li-Ion rechargeable battery. When the backlight is not used at all, a fully charged battery will last up to approximately 2-3 months depending on how much the keyboard is used.
It is important to note, however, that the backlight consumes a lot of energy. For the purpose of saving battery power, the keyboard’s backlight is automatically turned off at different inactivity time increments based on the set brightness level.
· Brightest level: 30 seconds · Medium level: 60 seconds · Low level: 120 seconds
The backlight will automatically turn back on when typing resumes. Typically, a fully charged battery is adequate for one week of backlight use. It may be a good idea to turn on the backlight only at night or in low light environments in order to extend the battery life.
When the battery level is low, its indicator LED will flash red (purple if B1 is in use), so please charge the keyboard using the USB cable provided. The keyboard can still be used while it is charging.
