Keypad 2 Manual 1.0
FAQs
1) The keypad shows an erratic 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.
Erratic behavior of the keypad can be a result of (too) low battery power. You should
charge the battery now.
2) Short cuts with the cmd-key (i.e. “cmd+” (to enlarge) or “cmd-” (to
downsize) in Pages) do not work when using the Apple™ Magic keyboard
together with the keypad.
Keyboard and keypad are recognized by the Mac OS as two separate input devices.
This means that a combination of the two input devices to form a single command is
not possible.
The shortcut command must be exactly in line with the Mac OS X
shortcut terminology!
3) On the screen, the message “lost connection” appears.
In order to save battery energy, the keypad goes automatically into sleep mode.
Just press any key on the keypad and the connection is resumed within 1
~
3
seconds.
4) Can the keypad be connected with various Macintosh™ computers, i.e.
an iMac and a MacBook, and switch back and forth?
No, the keypad can only be connected with one Macintosh™ computer at a time.
5) Can the battery power status be read in the Apple™ System Preferences
like with the Apple™ wireless keyboard?
No, there is no reading for the current battery power status.
6) Can the sleep mode be altered or turned off?
No, the sleep mode cannot be changed or turned off. The sleep mode reduces the
power consumption to about 1/30 of the stand-by mode. Consequently, the battery
life is greatly extended.
7) When using the LMP Keypad with my iPad it does not work properly.
The LMP Keypad is specifically designed to work with desktop or portable Macin-
tosh™ computers. It does not support iPad which is clearly stated on the
packaging.
8) On the LMP Keypad, there is a “.” (decimal) key. In my language, the
“,” is used as the decimal sign. Will the LMP Keypad display a “.” or a
“,”?
Whether the LMP Keypad displays a (decimal) “.” or a (decimal) “,” 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.
9) During the pairing process with the Macintosh™, there is a window
displayed called “Keyboard identification”. I am supposed to press
the key next to the shift key. But there is no shift key on the LMP
Keypad. What do I need to do?
The message can be ignored. Simply press the red button in the upper left corner
to close this window. Your Macintosh™ will recognize the LMP Keypad.
10)
The connection to my Mac is lost from time to time or lost completely.
The Bluetooth Keypad does not seem to be connected anymore to my
Mac. This happened after I updated the OS.
An update of the OS can lead to a damaged Bluetooth thread as well as other
reasons such interferences from other electronic devices or system crashes. Follow
these steps to renew the Bluetooth connection:
