Controlling the backlight

Please pair and connect the Macally Bluetooth keyboard to your device first, then you will be able to use the keyboard and control/adjust the backlight as described below.

Power consumption and auto shut-off of backlight: this keyboard has 800mAh Li-Ion rechargeable battery built in, which can last a couple of months with a full charge. But backlight consumes the battery power quite fast, that is why the backlight is set to turn off automatically if the keyboard is not typed in 5 minutes, and turn on automatically once typing resumes. To further extend the battery usage time, you probably should turn on the backlight at night or in low light environments. Low battery warning: when B1, B2 and B3 LEDs blinks simultaneously every five seconds, it reminds you the built-in battery is low, please connect the keyboard to a charger with the included USB cable.
