USE INSTRUCTIONS

Compatibility
Blue2 FT will connect to most devices that support a Bluetooth keyboard. A switch control software on
the device you are trying to control is required and must be compatible with the keyboard commands
of Space, Enter, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

First Time Use

1. Turn your device on and go to its Bluetooth settings to turn Bluetooth on.
2. Turn Blue2 FT on. When Blue2 FT is turned on for the first time, the Status Indicator Light will
flash blue on and off for approximately one minute indicating that Blue2 FT is in pairing mode.
To restart pairing mode touch either switch top.
3. In your device's Bluetooth settings, select BLUE2 FT XXXXX (X's denote Blue2 FT's serial
number). If more than one Blue2 FT is available, the serial number of your Blue2 FT is located
on the bottom of the Blue2 FT.
4. The Status Indicator Light will remain solid blue for approximately three seconds after your
Blue2 FT has successfully paired with your device.
a. The first time you use Blue2 FT the blue switch top (S1) is configured to use the
keyboard command Space and the yellow switch top (S2) is configured to use the
keyboard command Enter. Both keyboard commands can be changed.
b. After 20 minutes of non-use, Blue2 FT will go to sleep. To wake up, touch either switch
top.
5. Configure switch control settings on your device.
Continuously activating either switch top will continuously send the same keyboard command to your
device unless your switch control software is configured to behave differently.
Change Keyboard Command Used When a Switch is Activated
By default, Blue2 FT will use the keyboard command of Space when the blue switch top (S1) is
activated and Enter when the yellow switch top (S2) is activated. Both switches can be changed to use
the keyboard commands Space, Enter, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
To change the keyboard command a switch uses:
1. Turn Blue2 FT on.
2. Move the Keyboard Command Mode Switch to the on position. The background of the Keyboard
Command Mode Switch will turn green when turned on.
3. Activate the switch top on Blue2 FT or a wired switch plugged into Blue2 FT to select a new
keyboard command.
4. Move the Keyboard Command Mode Switch into the off position to save the keyboard command
you selected. The background of the Keyboard Command Mode Switch will turn red when
turned off.
Pair Blue2 FT With a New Device
Blue2 FT may only be paired with one device at a time. To pair with a new device, hold the Bluetooth
Pairing Button down for approximately 10 seconds. The Status Indicator Light will flash blue on and off
