*Bluetooth slots cannot be changed while in USB mode. If in USB mode, use gray button to toggle to Bluetooth mode first. Gray button will toggle between USB mode and Bluetooth mode(last selected Bluetooth slot.

 

USING USB MODE

The included USB cable simultaneously provides a wired connection and power. Simply plug in the cable and confirm you're in USB mode to instantly connect the Qwerkywriter S to your computer. Use the gray button to toggle between USB mode and Bluetooth mode. (Tip: Make sure the USB cable is plugged in all the way!  It's a very snug fit so it may need some gentle force. Once in, the red charging light will come on.)

While in USB mode the Qwerkywriter S does not drain power from the battery. Instead, it recharges the battery as indicated by the red LED. Once the cable has charged the battery to 100% the red LED will turn OFF.

 

NKEY MODE(optimal use in USB mode but supported in Bluetooth mode)

NKey mode will give the Qwerkywriter S a faster response time when keys are typed.

FN + PG DN = NKey mode ON
FN + PG UP = NKey mode OFF

The N labeled LED, located in the upper right, will light up to indicate NKey mode is ON.

When NKey mode is ON, the battery will drain faster so charging may be needed more frequently. However, this doesn’t apply if the charging cable is plugged in.
