Using your keyboard

Keyboard backlighting

When you start using your keyboard, the automatic light sensor detects the light level in the room and adjusts the keyboard backlight intensity accordingly. There are three intensity levels:

• In bright light: no keyboard illumination.
• In poor light: full intensity backlight.
• In the dark: half intensity backlight.

You can manually override the automatic backlighting setting. Press the key to cycle between the three intensity levels.

Please note:

• When your battery charge level is low, backlighting turns off automatically to conserve battery power.
• Automatic backlight control is restored automatically if the keyboard is idle for 30 minutes or more, or after turning the keyboard off and back on.

Touchpad gestures

To point, scroll and click:

1. Point and slide one finger anywhere on the touchpad to move the screen pointer.
2. Scroll with two fingers, up or down.
3. Press for left mouse click.*
4. Press for right mouse click.

*You can also tap the touchpad surface to perform a click.

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

Recharging your keyboard

Your keyboard is rechargeable. There are no batteries to be replaced.

A three-hour charge provides up to 10 days of use when you type about two hours a day with backlight on, or about one year without backlight.

Note: The use you get between charges may vary depending on your usage pattern.

When you turn on the keyboard the battery indicator shows the charge level.

To charge the battery, connect the keyboard to a computer using the Micro-USB charging cable supplied.

The battery indicator blinks green while charging takes place. 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.

The Logitech® Unifying receiver

Plug it. Forget it. Add to it.

Your new Logitech product ships with a Unifying receiver. Did you know you can add a compatible Logitech wireless device that uses the same receiver as your current Logitech Unifying product?

Are you Unifying-ready?

If you have a Logitech wireless device that's Unifying-ready, you can pair it with additional Unifying devices. Just look for the orange Unifying logo on the new device or its packaging. Build your ideal combo. Add something. Replace something. It's easy, and you'll use only one USB port for up to six devices.

Getting started is easy

If you're ready to pair your device(s) via Unifying, here's what you need to do:

1. Make sure your Unifying receiver is plugged in.
2. If you haven't already, download and install the Logitech software for your keyboard (see "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.
