Switching among paired Apple devices

To select an Apple device to use, press the Bluetooth key (1, 2, or 3) associated with it.
The light above the selected Bluetooth key slowly blinks blue to show it is connecting. Then it turns solid blue for 5 seconds to confirm that the Bluetooth connection has been made. For example, if an iPad is paired with the Bluetooth 2 key, press that key to use the iPad with the keyboard. Note: Only one Apple device can be active at a time.

Charge the batteries

A three-hour charge provides up to 10 days of use when you type about two hours a day with the backlight on, or about one year without the backlight. You can use the keyboard while it charges.
To check battery power and to charge the keyboard, do the following:

Turn on the keyboard.
- Battery Status light flashes green: the battery has an adequate charge.
- Battery Status light flashes red: recharge the battery. Go to step 2.
Connect the keyboard to a computer using the Micro-USB charging cable. Charge for 1 to 3 hours, or until the Battery Status light turns solid green.
Note: If the battery power is critically low, the keyboard backlight is disabled, and the battery status light will blink red.

Keyboard backlight
Keyboard sensors detect your hands, turning the backlight on and off. The backlight adjusts automatically to the level of your room light. Bright light and low battery power cause the backlight to turn off, which helps conserve battery power. In bright light, the F8 and F9 keys are disabled. Automatic backlight control turns off when you use the F8 or F9 keys to adjust backlight intensity. You can restore automatic backlight control by turning the keyboard off,f then on. If the keyboard is idle for two hours or more, automatic backlight control is restored automatically.
