Samsung Tizen TV, LG WebOS TV, Windows, MacOS, iOS/Apple TV, and Chrome OS
1. Some smart TV or application do not support mouse cursor and button click, so Touchpad has no function.
2. During pairing in a Bluetooth device(channel), the device LED(one of B1, B2 or B3) must be flashing blue, if
you take too long to finish pairing process so the device LED stops flashing blue and turns off blue light, you
can press Fn and the device key (the specific one of 1, 2 or 3 key you are pairing on) to make the device LED
flashing again in order to continue discovering and connecting the Macally keyboard to your device
successfully.
3. After pairing a device with the Macally keyboard successfully, it is very important to press Fn and the
specific OS key to select for the corresponding device OS to ensure the keyboard layout (mainly cmd and opt
keys for Mac OS and iOS, win and alt keys for the other 5 OS) and media shortcut definition (see the table for
detail next page) are saved and memorized to work correctly for this paired device channel. Once you have
done this OS selection, since it is saved and memorized, next time when you switch back to a device channel,
you can use the keyboard right away, there is no need to do OS selection again, unless you feel the keyboard
layout or media shortcuts are not working correctly for the device. If this is the case, please press Fn and the
corresponding OS key simultaneously for 3 seconds until all 3 blue LEDs flash together to confirm and finish.
