Product Overview
The GKMB01 Bluetooth Desktop Dock is a Bluetooth link that allows you to use a desktop
keyboard and mouse with two compatible mobile devices. With the GKMB01 connected, you
can quickly switch the focus of your computer’s keyboard/mouse to your mobile device to
compose and send text messages and e-mails, or navigate your mobile device. On compatible
Android devices you can use the mouse to open apps or play games without touching the
screen.

Connecting the Hardware
Before using the GKMB01 for the first time, make sure the keyboard and mouse have been
connected to the computer at least once (so the computer loads the correct drivers) then
follow the steps below:
1. Plug the Bluetooth Dock’s USB cable into the computer. If it is the first time install,
please allow a few seconds for the computer to load the drivers.
2. Unplug the USB keyboard and mouse from the computer, and plug them into the
Bluetooth Dock. Perform a quick test by typing a few words to make sure the keyboard
and mouse work fine with the computer
3. Install the clear plastic cradle/back support on the Bluetooth Dock and place your
mobile device on the dock.
4. If this is a first time setup, please go to Connecting Bluetooth Devices. To replace a
previously paired mobile device and pair a new one, you must first clear pairing by
pressing “ALT + F6”. The Bluetooth Dock allows two Bluetooth mobile devices to be
connected, so any time you wish to replace one you will need to perform this step.
Connecting Bluetooth Devices
To connect your Bluetooth mobile device(s):
1. Select the either Port 2 or Port 3 assignment for this device (Port 1 is already assigned to
the computer). Press either “ALT+F2” for port #2 or “ALT+F3” for port #3.
2. Using Port 2 as an example, you should see the blue LED 2 flashing on the front of the
Bluetooth Dock, indicating the unit is searching for Bluetooth devices.
3. Using iPad as an example of the mobile device, open Settings menu on the iPad, then
select General, and turn on Bluetooth.

should see GKMB01 as one of the Bluetooth devices in the range.
5. Select GKMB01 and a message will appear on the iPad screen showing the PIN code.
6. Type the PIN code on the keyboard and press Enter (Note: If you have a problem with
the Bluetooth connection, see Clear Bluetooth Pairing and repeat the steps above).
7. Your iPad is now connected to the GKMB01 and ready to use with your keyboard (Note:
Apple iOS devices do not support mouse function, however most Android HID compliant
devices do support mouse functions so you can navigate your device with it).
8. To connect a second Bluetooth device on the GKMB01, repeat the instructions above
using [Alt]+[F3] for step 1.
9. To switch the keyboard focus back to your computer, press [Alt]+[F1] (Note: Double tap
the Alt key to switch back and forth between the last device connected).
For easier use with mobile devices, the keyboard buttons can be customized or “mapped” to
correspond to specific functions on the mobile device. Many mobile devices already have
specific functions pre-mapped to use with wireless keyboards, so test all keys while connected
to your mobile device before making changes. To customize your keyboard for use with a
mobile device, see Keyboard Mapping.
Input Method Editor (IME)
Input Method Editor (IME) is an operating system component that allows users to enter
characters and symbols not found on normal English keyboards. Using the IME function allows
users on English keyboards to input Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Indic characters. If your
keyboard is used exclusively for English, you can skip this feature.
To change your keyboard language using the IME on your computer or mobile device, do the
following:
1. Switch to the device you want to use.
2. To toggle the IME on or off from the USB keyboard, press the hotkey shown for your
keyboard type:
3. Once IME is enabled, the device will use the characters of the language selected for your
device. (Note: iPad/iPhone users should use iOS 6 or higher, as these versions provide
the most effective IME support).
