To connect the ProtoArc XK21 keyboard to your computer or device, you have two options: 2.4G connection and Bluetooth connection.

For 2.4G Connection:
1. Set the power switch on the keyboard to "ON".
2. Take out the USB receiver from the package.
3. Insert the USB receiver into a USB port on your computer.
4. Press the button on the keyboard to enter 2.4G mode. The white indicator light will flash slowly, indicating that the keyboard is in 2.4G mode.

For Bluetooth Connection:
1. Set the power switch on the keyboard to "ON".
2. Press the corresponding Bluetooth channel button (e.g., BT1) on the keyboard. The white indicator light will flash for 2 seconds, indicating that the keyboard has switched to the selected Bluetooth channel.
3. Hold and press the Bluetooth channel button for 3-5 seconds until the white indicator light blinks quickly. This indicates that the keyboard is in pairing mode.

After completing the above steps, follow the specific instructions based on your operating system:

- For Windows 10: Click on "Bluetooth Devices" on your computer, then click on "Add or delete Bluetooth devices". Find "ProtoArc XK21" and click on "Pair". Once connected, you can start using the keyboard.
- For macOS: Click on "System reference", then click on "Bluetooth". Find "ProtoArc XK21" and click on "Pair". Once it shows "connected", you can use the keyboard.

Please note that for macOS, iOS, and Android systems, you need to complete the Bluetooth connection steps mentioned above and switch your keyboard into Bluetooth mode before pairing.

If you encounter any issues with Bluetooth connection, you can try removing some connected Bluetooth devices from your device or turn off the keyboard and turn it back on before reconnecting. Additionally, to switch between paired devices, simply press the channel button and wait for 3 seconds before using the keyboard with the new device.
