Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your keyboard, ensure your device supports Bluetooth and is running Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. Enable Bluetooth on your machine, put the keyboard in pairing mode, and select it from your device's settings menu. Because this model utilizes an AZERTY layout, ensure your system language settings are configured to match this keyboard input to avoid incorrect character entry. To clean, use a lightly dampened microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submersing the device in liquid, as the electronic components are sensitive.
