FLkey is USB bus-powered, it turns on when you connect it to your computer with a USB cable. When you connect FLkey to a Mac, it may show the Keyboard Setup Assistant. This is because FLkey also functions as a computer keyboard to enable the Navigate functionality. You can dismiss the Keyboard Setup Assistant.

On both Windows and Mac computers, when you connect your FLkey to your computer, it first appears as a Mass Storage Device, like a USB drive. Open the drive and double click ‘Click Here To Get Started.url’. Click ‘Get Started’ to open Easy Start in your web browser.
After you’ve opened Easy Start, follow the step-by-step guide, to install and use your FLkey.
