Short cuts with the cmd-key (i.e. “cmd+” (to enlarge) or “cmd-” (to downsize) in Pages) do
not work when using the Apple™ wireless keyboard together with the LMP Bluetooth Keypad.
Keyboard and LMP Bluetooth Keypad are recognized by the Mac OS as two separate input
devices. This means that a combination of the two input devices to form a single command
is not possible. Instead, you can use the programmable hot-keys F13 to F17:
Choose “System Preferences” --> “Keyboard” --> “Keyboard Shortcuts”. Press “+” to
assign a new keyboard shortcut. Enter the shortcut command and assign a hot key
(i.e. “Show All Bookmarks” to F14). Make sure you are using the correct term and the exact
same spelling as in the program so the system activates the command correctly (i.e. “Show
All Bookmarks” vs. “Show all bookmarks” which will not work!).
The “clear” key under Windows™ has different and sometimes strange functions
such as delete forward, delete backwards, no function at all, numlock function, clear
all, etc.
The LMP Keypad is designed to work with Mac OS X. However, it can be used with certain
Windows™ OS and programs as well but without support from the manufacturer.
The “clear” key under Windows™ OS is basically equal to numlock. However, it can have
different functions depending on the software being used. This shortcoming cannot be
changed. Use “delete” and “delete forward” instead to clear any characters and try to
avoid using the “clear” key while working with Windows™ OS.
The LMP Keypad does not work anymore with Windows™ OS
You may have accidentally pressed the “clear” key which locks the LMP Keypad (numlock
function in some programs). Unlock the LMP Keypad by pressing “clear” again.
Can the LMP Keypad be connected with various Macintosh™ computers, i.e. an iMac
and a MacBook, and switch back and forth?
No, the LMP Keypad can only be connected with one Macintosh™ computer at a time. When
switching to another Macintosh™, the pairing needs to be redone. It is recommended to
delete the “Bluetooth Keypad” first before re-pairing is performed.
Can the battery power status be read in the Apple™ System Preferences like with
the Apple™ wireless keyboard?
No, there is no reading for the current battery power status. Once the battery power is low,
the LMP Keypad will display an erratic behavior like loosing the connection all the time,
having difficulty to do the pairing, etc.
