Battery status
The battery status light is on the top middle of the adapter. When the battery gets low (less than 15% of battery
remaining), the light is red.
To conserve battery life, remove the wireless adapter from the Typing Cover or turn it off when you’re not using
it. The adapter turns off if you don’t use it for an hour.
