Get started with your
Flow Trackpad for Windows

Welcome to your Flow Trackpad

The Flow Trackpad uses a rechargeable battery and Bluetooth® technology to connect to your Windows computer wirelessly–wherever you work. This guide shows you how to use your Flow Trackpad, including pairing, customization, and recharging the battery.

Designed to move

Go with the Flow. The Flow Keyboard is designed to be positioned wherever it feels most comfortable to you. Position on the right side of your keyboard, on the left, or anywhere in between. Work is dynamic and now your tools are too.

What you need

  • Bluetooth-enabled computer with Windows 10 or later

Connect your Flow Trackpad

  1. The NUIO Flow Trackpad is easy to set up. Just turn on the power, then simply pair it to your Windows computer using the Bluetooth menu.

    Follow these steps:

    Make sure Bluetooth is turned “on” from the Windows computer you want to connect with.
    Connect your Flow Trackpad to your Windows computer by switching NUIO keyboard ON and to the desired channel position, 1, 2 or 3 using the On/Off Switch (so green is visible).
    Go to the Start Menu > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices > Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth. Choose the device and follow additional instructions if they appear, then select Done. You will see the NUIO Trackpad listed as “NUIO Flow Keyboard 1”, “NUIO Flow Keyboard 2” or “NUIO Flow Keyboard 3” – the number corresponds to the selected channel position of the On/Off power switch.
    If your NUIO Trackpad does not appear in the Bluetooth menu, press the Bluetooth Key on your NUIO Flow Trackpad. This will force the Flow Trackpad into “pairing” mode. You should now see the NUIO Flow Trackpad in the Bluetooth menu.
    Connect your Trackpad by clicking on “NUIO Flow Trackpad” in the Windows Bluetooth menu.
    Your NUIO Flow Trackpad is now connected.

    For more information on pairing a Bluetooth device with Windows, please visit the Microsoft support website.

Backlighting

Your Flow Trackpad features backlighting that allows you to work in low to no light environments. The backlight is controlled with the (F3/F4) keys on your NUIO Flow Keyboard. Use the (F4) key to turn on the backlight or increase it’s brightness. Use the (F3) key to decrease the brightness or turn off the backlight. The backlight can be quickly set to 0% (off) by double clicking (F3) key. It can be also be quickly set to 100% (brightest setting) by double clicking (F4) key.

Recharge the battery

To recharge the battery, use the USB-C Cable that came with your Trackpad. Plug one USB-C end in to your Flow Trackpad and the other USB-C end into a USB-C port on your Windows computer or a USB-C power adapter. The Trackpad Status Indicator light will flash green to indicate that it is charging.

To check the battery status, open Start menu > Settings > Devices. Click on Bluetooth and other devices. The battery level is shown on the right of the Trackpad in the “Mouse, keyboard & pen” area.

Alternatively, you may check the battery level by pressing the Battery Indicator button on the bottom of the Trackpad. The button lights up to indicate the level of charge:

0 lights = 0% charged
1 light = 1% - 20% charged
2 lights = 21-40% charged
3 lights = 40-60% charged
4 lights = 60-80% charged
5 lights = 80-100% charged

The Flow Trackpad goes to sleep to conserve battery power when you aren’t using it. If you won’t be using your Trackpad for an extended period, turn it off to conserve more battery power.

Remove pairing

  1. Choose Start menu > Settings, then click Bluetooth and Devices.
  2. Click the existing pairing in the “Mouse, keyboard and pen” section. Press the Remove Device button.
  3. Alternatively, you may also remove the existing pairing by pressing the Bluetooth Key on your NUIO Flow Keyboard.

Clean your Flow Trackpad

To clean the outside of your Trackpad, use a lint-free cloth. Don’t get moisture in any openings. Don’t use solvents, aerosol sprays, or abrasives to clean the Trackpad.

Use care when magnets come together

Our products use magnets to aid with positioning and alignment. Because magnets can attract to each other, and other objects – please use care when handling them. Please be aware of the potential pinching hazard that can occur when two magnets come into close proximity or make contact. Magnets possess attractive forces that can cause them to snap together suddenly, creating a pinching effect that may result in injury to fingers, skin, or other objects caught in between. Store them apart or attach to the Deskpad when not in use. Keep them away from children and do not use them for any other purpose than they were designed for - as a positioning tool for NUIO products.

Also, please review our note about possible magnetic interference with medical devices here.
