In case of any problems, please follow the below steps before
contacting our service center.
1) If slot number you are trying to connect is different from the number that appears on
your device: You may discover this problem if you are trying to connect one device to
several slots.
PENNA does not allow registering the same device to more than 2 of the 5 Bluetooth
slots. If you cannot remember which device has been registered, please initialize by press-
ing FN+B then C to delete previous connection history and try again.
2) After initializing PENNA by pressing FN+B -> C then press FN+B doesn’t activate pairing
ready status (with 5 LED lights lit up and only 1 LED blinking):
Even if PENNA s Bluetooth slots have been initialized, the device may still try to connect
to PENNA based on its past connection history. Please check if PENNA appears in the
device connection history and delete it accordingly.
3) If device doesn’t connect to assigned slot or is not recognized:
When many devices simultaneously trying to connect to PENNA, there may be errors.
When assigning devices to a slot, please do so one at a time.
4) If none of the above solutions resolve connection problems:
Most of the problems from Bluetooth connection occur because of the previous history
of connected device. Please erase PENNA from the device connection history and try
again.
Using Multi media keys can increase your productivity as you do not have to take your
hands off the keyboard so frequently, e.g. to use the mouse.
The available hot keys depend on the operating system used. The following keys show the
functions and standard assignment of each hot key.
PENNA has 3 LEDs, each for indicating the macro mode, Bluetooth connection status, and
battery life. Please see below for the appearance.
If the device is old:
PENNA employs the most current version of Bluetooth (4.2 BLE), so some old devices or
software variations may not work. Please update your software or use a newer device.
If using Bluetooth dongle on Windows 7:
Since PENNA employs Bluetooth 4.2 BLE, dongles not compatible with BLE on Windows 7
may not work. So please update your OS to Windows 8.1 or above or use dongles that
support Windows BLE.
If other problems are discovered, please contact our service center at the below e-mail
