Product Overview
The Touch Swivel Series is a protective keyboard case designed for various iPad models. It features a 360-degree rotating hinge and a built-in trackpad to enhance productivity. The case includes a rechargeable battery and connects via Bluetooth.
Installation
To install, place your iPad into the case starting from the bottom and secure it. Use the integrated secure buckles to lock the iPad in place for added protection. If your model includes a pencil holder, it is designed for Apple Pencil 2nd Gen charging when attached to the iPad.
Power and Charging
The keyboard is powered by a rechargeable 500mAh battery, charged via a Type-C port. A full charge takes less than 3 hours. Battery life varies based on backlight usage: less than 5 hours with backlight on, and up to 180 hours with backlight off. If not in use for an extended period, charge the keyboard at least once every two months.
Bluetooth Connection
Ensure your iPad is running iPadOS 14.6 or higher and that AssistiveTouch is enabled in Settings. Turn on the keyboard, enter pairing mode (using the connection button or Fn+C combination depending on your model), and select "iPad-Keyboard" in your iPad's Bluetooth settings.
Trackpad and Gestures
The trackpad supports multi-touch gestures for navigation. Ensure AssistiveTouch is enabled for full functionality. You can adjust cursor tracking speed in the iPad's Accessibility or General settings once the keyboard is connected.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
If keys are unresponsive, try resetting the keyboard by holding L+S+Z for 3 seconds. For issues with auto-correction or punctuation, disable "Auto-Correction" and "Auto-Capitalization" in the iPad's Hardware Keyboard settings. For technical support, contact [email protected].
