Once the Macally Keyboard is open, you are ready to program the Keys. Before you start, you should have a general idea of what you want to program into the keys. We provided a few exam- ples for you to get started.
Example #1. I would like to program the m1 key to launch Adobe Photoshop 6.0. 1. If you haven’t already done so, open the Macally Keyboard window by pressing the multimedia key marked now. Make sure the “Target Application” is set to “GlobalSettings”. Select the m1 key in the Macally Keyboard.

The battery may be low. Replacing the batteries could solve the problem. If you use RFKey on metal surfaces such as metal desk, you may need to put the receiver closer to the keyboard to reduce the interference.
