How do you shut off the keyboard, to save battery life?

My keyboard only requires a battery change about once a year, I believe the keyboard powers down when you turn your computer off, but I'm not 100% sure.

You can't, but you don't really need to. It consumes negligible amounts of power and it has no LEDs or other components that would use more power apart from the wireless adapter.

Plug the cable into the keyboard and a USB port on your computer. Leave the keyboard off but your computer on. Had no problems with mine. Let it charge overnight.

Not as I am aware. I love the keyboard and I am very satisfied for it so far. I do not have "eating" batteries issue at all and my habit is every time I'm done with it, I manually turn off the power. This won't bother me just turn off the power by myself.

When not used for 5 min, the key board gets disconnected from the tab. It gets activated in few seconds after tapping on any key. Not sure, if yhis can be really called sleep/wake. This anyway doesnt save the battery of the tab, as it continuously searches for bluetooth devices, till it goes to sleep. But, I did not charge my keyboard for more than 5 days of conyinuously "ON" position, with approximately 90 minutes of daily usage.

It's funny you ask that because first day I had it I was messing around with key commands and I turned it off and since then I've been too lazy to google how to turn it back on. So yeah you can turn it off.

If memory serves, yes you can. That would draw on the battery so I would think that you could shut it off.

Yes you can, using the function keys on the top near the screen-brightness keys you can disable the keyboard lights while continuing to use the computer like normal.

I shut it off as I only use the keyboard for note taking. I have had no trouble with it reconnecting. Hope this helps.

You slide the cover off the back. Its really simple. I only use my keyboard occasionally, but the batteries have lasted for over a year now. Plus, the keyboard turns off after not being used for a while, saving battery.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure you can't. Also sometimes when I turn my computer off, the mouse LED stays on.

No, you still have to push the power button. If you have been using the keyboard you also need to turn the power off.

If it's on the tablet default settings the screen will turn off. Unrelated to the keyboard. The keyboard does not affect the tablet whatsoever besides it adding a bluetooth keyboard.

Yes. You may want to remove the keyboard when doing this, but you don't have to. As long as you turn it off it should be fine either way.

It doesn't turn off automatically, if that's what you mean. Regardless, it's no good. Keys pooped out, and the "adhesive" tore. I returned it.

I've had my keyboard for several months and have not charged it yet. However, the keyboard has an off on button which I turn off after each use.

Yes you can, either by turning it down using the Hot keys on the keyboard itself (F keys, from 100% to 0%) or by installing the SetPoing software and configuring the setting to OFF.

Without the keyboard there's really nothing to keep it closed on its own. Hope that answers your question. Take care!
