Troubleshooting your Dual-mode keyboard
My keyboard will not work
If your keyboard does not work, here are some steps you can take:
- Make sure the switch is in the correct position and not in the middle of either option.
- If in wired mode, ensure the wires are pushed in all the way on both ends.
- If in Bluetooth mode, try pressing and releasing Fn + 1 at the same time, then let go. If you see a bold LED light come on, try a test type. If no light comes on, you may need to re-sync your device.
- (For Bluetooth mode) If the above does not work, you can go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Scroll down to the Security header > File Vault (toggle this off).
Re-sync instructions
- Go to your system settings, then Bluetooth. If you are able to see the Macally keyboard in your device list, we will want to remove/forget the device first.
- Turn the keyboard on and then locate the press the ‘Fn’ key and the ‘1’ on the number row.
- Press Fn + 1 at the same time, let go. Then press Fn + 1 at the same time for about 3-5 seconds (or until you get a blinking LED light) and then let go.
- Once the keyboard appears on your device list, press connect.
