Bluetooth Feature Overview

Bluetooth Setup Instruction 1

Switch to Bluetooth mode

1. When the keyboard remains unplugged, turn the back switch to ON. Then long press and hold Fn + E / R / T to start pairing with Bluetooth devices. The keyboard will enter Bluetooth pairing mode when the blue LEDs under E / R / T keys flash quickly.
2. When the Keyboard is plugged into the computer through USB interface, it will enter Bluetooth mode automatically without having to push the switch on the back. Users can directly long press and hold Fn + E / R / T to enable Bluetooth pairing. The keyboard will enter Bluetooth pairing mode when the blue LEDs under E / R / T keys flash quickly.

Set the Bluetooth profile

To help user recognize individual Bluetooth device, the keyboard is equipped with both Bluetooth 5.0 and 3.0 frameworks.
The device name under the Bluetooth 5.0 framework is PC98BP-1/PC98BP-2/PC98BP-3 while the device name under Bluetooth 3.0 is Akko PC98BP BT3.0. Once the devices are paired through Fn + E / R / T, the system will by default memorize the last connected device before you turn off the Bluetooth mode.

The keyboard can be paired with PC, Pad, smartphone and other devices with Bluetooth turned on. When you first try to search Bluetooth devices, two groups of device names shall appear with Akko PC98BP BT3.0 (Bluetooth 3.0) and PC98BP-1 (Bluetooth 5.0). Select a Bluetooth group based on your preferences (Note: some devices can only search for the Bluetooth 5.0 group).

After 4 Bluetooth devices have been paired with the keyboard, press Fn+E / Fn+R / Fn+T / Fn+Y for at least 3 seconds to quickly switch between them.
