Solución de problemas

Keyboard not pairing?
Ensure the keyboard is fully charged and powered on. Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and that the keyboard is in pairing mode (indicator light blinking). Try restarting both the keyboard and your device, then attempt the pairing process again.
Keys not responding or typing incorrectly?
Check the keyboard's battery level. Ensure the keyboard is properly connected to your device via Bluetooth. If the issue persists, try unpairing and re-pairing the keyboard. Clean any debris from around the affected keys.
Connection issues or frequent disconnections?
Ensure your device and keyboard are within the optimal Bluetooth range (typically up to 10 meters or 33 feet) and that there are no significant obstructions or sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices, large metal objects) between them. Try switching to a different Quick-Switch channel if you are using multiple devices.
¿Poca duración de la batería?
Ensure the keyboard is fully charged before use. Battery life can vary based on usage patterns and environmental factors. Over time, rechargeable batteries may experience some degradation. If battery life significantly decreases, ensure you are charging it correctly and consider contacting support if the issue is severe and persistent.
