Battery disposal
The rechargeable battery is not intended to be user-replaceable and should last for the life of the keyboard. At end of life, disassemble the
right keying module (battery is located near LEDs) and discard/recycle the battery according to local laws.
Keyboard connection range
The Bluetooth specified connection range is up to 10 meters (~30 feet). However, Bluetooth keyboards can have much longer actual ranges
and your Freestyle2 Blue keyboard may actually remain connected up to 100 feet away from its device. So if you have paired to more than
one device, be careful what channel you have selected so as to not inadvertently type on a device which is not in your presence!
Using your Freestyle2 Blue keyboard comfortably and efficiently
The Freestyle2 Blue keyboard is shipped with the two keying modules connected by a
linking cable
and by a removable
Pivot Tether™
(shown at right). To remove the pivot tether, slide the appropriate
pivot tether
release button
(shown at far right)
towards the outside of the keyboard and allow the
pivot tether to detach from that keying module. The two keying modules may then be separated by
up to 9 inches.
Special Keys
While most of the keys are exactly what you would expect on a compact keyboard, there are some special key actions on the left side and in
the function key row that increase convenience and productivity, and reduce repetitive motions. The normal navigation keys are in a column
on the right side like on laptops and other compact keyboards. A tactile ridge is present on selected keys in these groups to promote more
accurate touch typing.
Note that with “fn” held down, the first three left-side hot keys perform Bluetooth channel
selections.
Special left-side hot keys
Special top-row driverless hot keys
To use the traditional function keys (blue legends on the keyboard, listed in parentheses below), hold down the
fn
key. If any of
these top-row keys don’t work as you expect, check that your keyboard shortcut settings are configured as “default” in System
Preferences.
