3）Insert USB receiver
Uncover the back lid of this keyboard, you can see a USB receiver at the back case. Just take it out and plug it into the USB port of the TV box. It is a plug and play version, so what you need do is wait for a few seconds before the keyboard connects with the tv box through USB receiver.

2 How to control your TV box
1）Operate the touchpad
The sensitive touchpad makes the cursor tracking smooth and effective enough. I feel few embarrassment in moving the cursor in all directions. I occasionally find the cursor display weirdly, for example , the whole page may move up and down when I swipe up and down randomly on the touchpad just means to move the cursor. It likes a breeze when It dawns on me that I should move on the scrollbar to move the page and the rest space to move the cursor.

I like the built-in touchpad for its gesture recognition (instead of scrollbar) as described below:
One finger:
(1)Slide to move the cursor;
(2)Keep pressing ” FN” and slide freely to scroll up/down the screen (to change the entire touchpad to a scrollbar);
(3)Single click to act as the left mouse;
(4)Double click to open a file or application;
(5)Two quick clicks on the touchpad, and don’t let your finger go on the second click and slide to move the file or picture.
(6) Hold down the left mouse button and slide your finger on touchpad to select the target.
Two finger: Click to act as right mouse.
Scroll Bar Function: Swiping with your finger on the scroll bar is equivalent to sliding the scroll bar on the right side of the screen.

What exceeds your expectation is the perfect location of its touchpad. It is located in the upper right side, with a right mouse button to the right. This design means that, much advantageous over other similarities with trackpad in the upper middle, you can hold this keyboard just with your right hand (no need of both hands) and your right thumb can easily reach the touchpad and perform gesture like slide or tap. How about gesture of two fingers? That is pretty easy. Just slide on the scrollbar to browse up/down and one click on the right mouse beside the touchpad.

Some person, however, find the distance traveled when scrolling is too little, and you will find yourself doing a lot of repeat actions. Never mind, you can use the up/ down arrows, Page Up and Page Down, and Home and End for quick shift instead.

In a nutshell, some mistake may exist but it’s good enough to meet or exceed your basic demands.

2）Navigation buttons:
The direction buttons are located in the upper left side where your left thumb can perform conveniently and freely. It is intuitive enough. With this buttons, I can freely move the cursor to select the very program or app on TV screen to enjoy.

I usually click these buttons to move the cursor a little. If I want to move a big distance or to next/previous page, I prefer the touchpad, scrollbar, shortcut keys like (hold Fn and press) page up/down,Home and End.

3）QWERTY layout
Personally, I hate the on-screen-inputting style for the pick-and-peck process is really bored to me. This is the reason I used a QWERTY keyboard remote instead.

Typing on this keyboard is a bit hard at first for the buttons are a bit little and packed, but it doesn’t take me much time to get familiar to it and edit some lines of characters for its layout is basically similar to that of the standard traditional keyboard.

4）media-friendly buttons and shortcut keys
10 basic media-friendly buttons are deployed in a line. 6 of them are within your right thumb’ s reach for media playing, including play/pause, previous/next,Voice+/-, mute; 4 of them are within your left thumb’s reach for quick interface shift among browser home, Email, search, etc.

3 How to control your TV through programmed IR buttons

Please note that any or some of these 8 IR buttons must learn code value from that of your original TV remote before it or they works with your tv.
Now lets go into detailed process of IR learning.

Step 1: Hold on the button”  ” on the first row (before the button+) till the LED indicator blinks and then lights solid.
Step 2: Click the button you want to program (“ +” , for example) of these 8 IR-enabled buttons, the indicator will blink one time and then be steady on.
Step 3: Power on your original TV remote and put together their IR heads about 1 inch apart and click the target button “V+” on your TV remote. The LED indicator will blink 3 times quickly, then steady on for the following IR learning process of another IR button.
Step 4: While LED is steady on (wait for 3 seconds), you can repeat step 2 and step 3 to program other buttons.
Step 5: Just wait for about 10 seconds to save the setting automatically (the LED will go off), or click the button”  ” for a quick saving.

For example, you can program at least 5 of them to fulfil the specific function like powering on/off your TV, adjusting the volume and switching the channels, and to make the other 3 button separately to control your other TVs.

Note: The detailed programming steps are printed on the back case for your convenient reference.
