FAQs
The Two Zone Keyboard shows unstable behavior such as a sudden loss of connection, sleep mode after a short time (i.e. only a few seconds), no connection possible when trying to pair, etc.
The unstable behavior of the Two Zone Keyboard can be a result of (too) low battery power. You should change the batteries now.
Can the Two Zone Keyboard be connected with various MacintoshTM computers, i.e. an iMac and a MacBook, and switch back and forth?
No, the Two Zone can only be connected with one MacintoshTM computer at a time. When switching to another MacintoshTM, the pairing needs to be redone. It is recommended to delete the “Bluetooth mini Keyboard” first before re-pairing is performed. You can delete it by choosing the “Bluetooth mini Keyboard” and clicking on the “-“ sign in the left window. Follow the steps under “Bluetooth Pairing under Mac OS X”.
Can the battery power status be read in the AppleTM System Preferences?
No, there is no reading for the current battery power status. Once the battery power is low, the LED will flash very slowly in green.
On the Two Zone Keyboard, there is a “.” (decimal) key. In my language, the “,” is used as the decimal sign. Will the Two Zone Keyboard display a “.” or a “,”?
Whether the Two Zone Keyboard displays a “.” or a “,” depends on the Mac OS installed (keyboard layout/language), i.e. in French OS/keyboard layout, the decimal key displays a “,” while in Swiss OS/keyboard layout, a “.” is displayed.
During the process of pairing the Two Zone Keyboard with the Macin toshTM, there is a window displayed called “Keyboard identification”. I am supposed to press the key next to the shift key.
The message can be ignored. Simply press the red button in the upper left corner to close this window. Your MacintoshTM will recognize the Two Zone Keyboard.
