Bluetooth connections
About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that uses a 2.4 GHz frequency to connect to various devices over short distances. It can connect and exchange data with other Bluetooth enabled devices, such as mobile devices, computers, printers, and other digital home appliances, without connecting via cables.
Notices for using Bluetooth
To avoid problems when connecting your keyboard to another device, place the devices close to each other. Ensure that there are no obstacles between the keyboard and a connected device, including human bodies, walls, corners, or fences.
Bluetooth uses the same frequency as some industrial, scientific, medical, and low power products and interference may occur when making connections near these types of products.
Some devices, especially those that are not tested or approved by the Bluetooth SIG, may be incompatible with the keyboard.
Do not use the Bluetooth feature for illegal purposes (for example, pirating copies of files or illegally tapping communications for commercial purposes).
