Post Syncing Operation:
• If the keyboard turns off during periods of non-use, it can be awakened by pressing any key.
The keyboard will become active again after the keyboard re-connects. An active connection
is indicated by the flashing F1, F2 or F3 LED depending upon which sync channel is in use.
• If the keyboard is turned off, it should reconnect automaticly when it is turned on again.
• Use the "Bluetooth" Control Panel, Device and Printer, Settings, or System Preferences
screen to remove any unwanted pairings if interference with them is occurring.
falcon™ Operation:
• The falcon™ is a built-in Optical Mouse that allows the user to move the cursor on the
monitor almost identical to using a normal mouse. Instead of moving the mouse over a
surface to move the cursor, the edge of the thumb or tip of a finger, is moved over the 'lens'
in the space bar to move the cursor. By moving the edge of the right or left thumb over the
cursor port at the space bar, the cursor is moved.
• The Optical Mouse along with the four small white Activation Keys are used to perform the
exact same functions provided by a normal computer mouse (Left click, Right click, Scroll
up, Scroll down, etc.).
• When the cursor is over the spot desired, that item can be activated by using the index finger
of the right hand to press the small white key just above the "H" key (Left Click). The
middle finger can be used on the small white key just above the "J" key (Right Click) to pull
down menus. Scroll up and down can be operated with the left hand index and middle finger
respectively on the small white keys just above the "D" and "F" keys. By holding down both
the Left and Right Click buttons, the thumb can be used to rotate an object (CAD use) on the
monitor. By holding down both the up and down scroll buttons, the thumb can be used to
zoom the object.
NOTE: The software application being used on the connected device has to have the
zooming or rotation feature for it to work with the
falcon™
.
Right or Left Hand:
• The activation keys can be set for either right or left hand operation. Normally, the right two
activation keys mimic the left-right click keys on a normal mouse. The left two activation
keys provide scroll up and down operation. The activation keys can be reversed by pressing
Fn+R+L at the same time. Pressing Fn+R+L again returns to normal.
• A new right hand user of the falcon™ may find it easier to use the Left Hand Keyboard
Operation setup so that the left hand can be used for Left and Right click while the right
hand thumb is used to move the cursor without worrying about the right hand finger
activation of selection keys.

Helpful Hints:
• The use of a mouse, thumb pad, or track ball is habit forming. To get the most from the
falcon™, hide your mouse where it cannot be reached and disable the track ball or thumb
pad. You will have to form a new habit in the use of your thumb or finger tip to become
proficient with the falcon™ and avoid reaching for the mouse or thumb pad every time you
want to move the cursor.
• A right handed beginner may find that it is easier to have the left hand operate the select and
pull down activation keys rather than doing it with the right hand as the thumb is
maneuvering the cursor. Press Fn+L+R at the same time to switch back and forth for left or
right hand operation.
• Either the edge of the right or left thumb or a finger tip moving horizontally over the space
bar mouse lens can be used to move the cursor.
• The LEDs located above F1, F2, F3 flash blue when paired successfully with a Bluetooth
component. If up to three devices have been paired successfully, you can press Fn+F1,
Fn+F2, or Fn+F3 to switch from one device to another.
• Precise location of the cursor on the monitor can be assisted by varying the DPI (dots per
inch-the accuracy of the picture being taken). Changing from 400, 600, or 1200 DPI is
performed by pressing Fn + S together. Repeating Fn + S steps through each DPI setting in
order. A very slight movement of the thumb or finger on the lens can show the change in
movement speed from one DPI step to the next.
• If the keyboard goes to sleep during periods of non-use, it can be restated by pressing any
key.
• If the keyboard is turned off by pressing the Power Key or if the Battery is discharged, the
keyboard should reconnect automatically when it is turned on again (after recharging the
battery if necessary).
