Welcome!
Thank you for choosing the TrickleStar®Advanced Keyboard. The Advanced Keyboard is an energy
saving computer keyboard with integrated radar sensor which uses a highly-accurate radar-sensing
technology and a selectable countdown timer to detect when a user has stepped away (or is
absent) from their computer. It puts your workstation or personal computer to sleep automatically
according to your countdown timer setting and absence of movement detection. If you have any
inquiries about TrickleStar products or need technical support, visit our website for tutorials, videos
and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). You can also contact us by email or phone.

energy savings are optimized.

Note:
• Do not place any objects in front of the keyboard. Doing so may block the radar sensor from
properly detecting the absence of movements.
• Users are not recommended to use a wrist rest with the keyboard as it may interfere with radar’s
detection; alternatively, if users absolutely have to use one, choose foam-type wrist rests, but this
may sacrice some detection range.
• The TrickleStar Advanced Keyboard uses an ultra-low-power pulsed coherent radar detector to
determine if a user is present in front of the keyboard. It poses no health risks to users, complying
with the output limits for unlicensed transmitting devices in all major international markets.
• The TrickleStar Advanced Keyboard’s radar sensor is also not compromised by any natural source
of interference such as noise, dust or light.

Problem Solution
If you encounter any of the
symptoms below while using
the Advanced Keyboard,
please perform the steps
outlined in Possible
Solutions section.
Symptoms:
• Strange or repeating
characters when typing
on the keyboard
• Characters appear
without typing
• Keys get stuck
• Keyboard responds
intermittently or not
responding
My computer does not enter
standby/sleep state after
I stepped away from my
computer.
My computer does not enter
standby/sleep state after I
pressed the power button.
My Windows computer does
not wake up from sleep
when I pressed the power
button / any keys on
keyboard.
Possible Causes:
• Potential hardware issue
• Operating system / software settings
• USB port issue
Possible Solutions:
1. Unplug the keyboard’s USB connector from your computer.
2. Clean the keys with cotton swab or compressed air.
3. Plug the keyboard’s USB connector directly to the computer
and not to a USB hub or extender.
4. Try connecting the Advanced Keyboard to a different USB port.
5. Try connecting the Advanced Keyboard to a different computer.
The radar sensor shall signal your computer to enter the standby
/sleep state only after the countdown timer expired with no
movement detected. In case someone walks by or movement is
detected before the expiry of the countdown timer, it shall reset
and begin a new countdown.
Please ensure that the “Operating System” selector switch is
configured correctly. Then, unplug the keyboard’s USB connector
from your computer and plug in again.
Windows computers allow users to choose whether the sleep
button on the Start menu makes the computer enter sleep mode
or hibernate mode. When it is selected as hibernate mode, the
keyboard will be unable to wake up the computer.
Please ensure the sleep button is configured to enter sleep mode
for both battery and plugged in settings in “Power Options” >
“Choose what the power button does”.
Note: the power button on the keyboard acts as a sleep button in
the Windows operating system settings.
Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
My computer does not wake
up from sleep state after
pressing any keys on the
keyboard.
When my computer is in
sleep state, occasionally the
keyboard LED indicator will
light up for several seconds
before turning off, although
the computer display is still
turned off.
When I put the computer
to sleep manually via the
computer’s physical power
button or the System’s menu,
the keyboard LED indicator
will only turn off several
minutes after the display turns
off.
When the computer goes to
sleep state and I immediately
wake it up (within 10 sec. of
the computer entering sleep
state) by pressing computer’s
physical power button, the
keyboard delayed turning on
the LED indicator by several
minutes.
Depending on the computer manufacturer, there may be a setting
in the computer BIOS called the “Wake-on-USB” setting which
must be enabled to allow the computer to wake up by USB input.
Some manufacturers may even state that the “Wake-on-USB”
feature is only functional when AC power adapter is connected,
and not functional on battery power.
This is normal behavior, where the computer periodically wakes up
to check for emails, schedule updates and other network activities
during sleep state (known as “Power Nap” in Macs and “Modern
Standby” in Windows 10 computers). However, the display
remained turned off.
During these periods, the keyboard detected the computer waking
up to update information, so the LED indicator lights up. Once the
computer goes back to sleep state, the LED indicator will also turn
off by itself.
This is also normal behavior, where the computer typically
instantaneously turn off the display, but will not enter sleep state
immediately. Computers typically enter sleep state up to several
minutes after the display is turned off.
The keyboard LED indicator will only turn off when the computer
successfully enters sleep state.
This is also normal behavior, where the computer immediately
turn on the display, but the computer is not fully awaken yet until
several minutes after the display is turned on.
The keyboard LED indicator will only turn on when the computer is
in fully awaken state.

• Unplug the keyboard from the computer and wait 5 to 10 seconds before starting to clean.
• Dampen a cotton swab or lint-free cloth with small amount of water and avoid any liquid dripping or
seeping into the keyboard. Wipe carefully and gently between the keys to remove excess dust.
• Besides that, you may also use compressed air or cold-air from a hair dryer to remove dust
between the keys.
• Do not use bleach, acetone, nail polish remover, strong solvents, or abrasives.
