Sorry haven't encountered that problem yet. I have used this keyboard for a while and havent encounted that problem yet. I didnt find any directions that may have answered that question either. I'll do some research and get back to you.

The answer is the key board quits working and it's hard to get re-started. I'm not very satisfied with the keyboard. The case is nice and serves as some good protection but the keyboard just doesn't work for me. I've only been able to get it to work a couple of times and it takes too much time to bring it back into service once it stops working (probably due to a low battery).

Good question. I've never had a problem and I've only charged it up several times since I've had it. It holds a charge a real long time so I would suggest try it out a few times to get a feel for it. I don't type that often with it so I'm not that great a person to answer your question The only thing I can add is that it worked perfectly out of the box with no problems. I'm very happy with it. It looks and feels like a very expensive tablet case, but isn't. Good luck.

There isn't a indicator light so when you can no longer type, it's time to recharge. I was charging about once a week when I was using it. Wasn't particularly satisfied with it.

If you mean light indicator, yes. If the keyboard is charged it is one of the lights on the top.

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.

The keypad will beep to let you know when it is getting low. Replace it by removing the inside cover. Here is the schlage website video instruction. http://answers.schlage.com/entries/20384451-Video-How-to-change-the-battery-in-Keypad-Lock

Suzannah, I wondered the same thing. As far as I can tell the light comes on at first on both occasions but then shuts off. I mentioned this in my review there should be some indicators showing keyboard on, charging or needs charging. I also found that if there is a small lapse of time in typing, the keyboard goes to sleep and it takes 3 to 5 seconds to reconnect.

When it pairs with your phone, there's a small battery indicator next to the Bluetooth symbol at the top of the screen. The speaker also tells you when it is very low.

My daughter uses it for school every day so she charges it every night. We've never run the battery all the way down. She's pretty diligent about turning it off when she's not using it. I believe the keyboard will go into sleep mode after a period of inactivity.

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.

I can't really answer that because I use Android. I haven't checked the battery from my tablet. I only check from my PC, and it seems good. I use Linux Mint, which required no drivers or downloading to have everything just work, after I manually linked the keyboard the first time. That part took a little command-line tweaking. Not so for my Android tablet (Nexus 7, so native Google latest version).

I believe the keyboard light should only be blue. Both charging and when on. I would box that one up and send it right back for a replacement.

I have not yet discovered the end of the battery. I recently used the keyboard for 4hrs 7 mins straight, and it seemed to be fine. I could not tell if it was low on power reserve! It is a great little keyboard with a big keyboard feel. I highly recommend it. By the way it only works when connected vi bluetooth or maybe USB cable. SO little power is used until keystrokes are made.

I'll be honest, I don't know about the low battery indicator, but I found the device to be completely unreliable. It gave drastically different readings everytime I used it.

Hi Zolzaya, I've been using my FOME wireless keyboard regularly for quite a while now with no problems. Your question is confusing me, since there is no "low battery" indicator on the on the keyboard. Do you mean to say that you see the "low battery" indication on your Samsung Note tablet's screen? That's the only indicator of a low battery condition that specifically states this condition. If that is the case, remember this: you need to charge the FOME keyboard AND your tablet separately, so that they are both fully charged, since charging one will not charge the other. Try this and let me know how this works out for you. Good luck. Hi Zolzaya, I've been using my FOME wireless keyboard regularly for quite a while now with no problems.

Plug in the usb cable into the keyboard and inot a computer that is turned on. Wait for the light to change color or go off. If the keyboard is low on power, it has taken mine 4 hours to recharge..

Yes the keyboard is back lit, it goes dark when not using it to conserve battery life, but as soon as something is touche it lights up.

Hi Ron, The first thing I would do is make sure the keyboard is fully charged. If the red light is on then you need to recharge the keyboard. If the light is blue (charged) I would make sure the bluetooth feature is enabled. You would do that by checking your settings. Once those two things are working properly you should be able to use it again if it worked before. Good luck with that!

If it is happening without you clicking the DPI button, then it must mean Low Battery.
