Compatibility

KINETIC

 is compatible with the following Apple 

products:

iPad- all models

iPod Touch 3

rd

 generation onwards

iPhone 3GS onwards

KINETIC

 is also compatible with most computers 

and  laptops  which  have  a  Bluetooth  capability, 

such  as  MacBooks.  Android  tablets  vary 

enormously in specification so compatibility with 

these  products  is  dependent  upon  the  specific 

tablet. Please contact Pretorian Technologies or 

your  local  distributor  for  guidance.  When  using 

KINETIC

 with products other than iPad/iPhone/

iPod, there are some features of 

KINETIC

 which 

may  not  function-  in  particular  the  on-screen 

keyboard button.

Throughout  these  instructions,  all  references 

to  iPad  should  be  taken  as  meaning  any  of  the 

above Apple products.

Charging your KINETIC

Ensure that the internal battery is fully charged by plugging the charging cable into the USB mini socket 

[G] and then into any USB port, for example on a PC, Mac or a wall charging unit. The charging LED [D] will 

illuminate green to show that charging is taking place. Once charged, the charging light is extinguished.

If the charge in the battery begins to run low the charging LED [D] will begin to flash red. This is an 

indication that it should be charged soon.

Turning the unit on and off     

Press the on/off button [C] briefly to turn the unit on. The power LED [B] lights. To turn it off again, press 

and hold the on/off button until the power LED is extinguished. Note that the unit automatically powers 

down to conserve battery life after one hour of non-use. Press the power button briefly again to awaken it.

Connecting to your iPad/iPhone/iPod

Ensure that 

KINETIC

 is powered on by observing the power LED [B]. If it is asleep, press the on/off button 

[C] briefly. The LED display [A] will begin to show a rotating pattern to indicate that it is searching 

for a device to connect with. If the rotating pattern is extinguished after a few seconds, refer to the 

‘Re-Connecting your 

KINETIC

’ section of these instructions.

Go to the Bluetooth menu on your iPad (Settings 

 Bluetooth). First of all ensure Bluetooth is turned 

on using the slider at the top of the screen.

After a few seconds 

KINETIC

 should appear as a ‘discoverable’ device. It will appear something similar to:

Pretorian-V68.0-ABC1

Tap on the name and the pairing process with begin. Typically it takes around 20 seconds to connect, 

after which the iPad will state that it is ‘Connected’.
