Just two keys, hidden under the surface. Tap, double-tap or hold either one: 6 gestures in all.
2Main Speak, translate, AI Assistant
Tap: speak, and AI tidies it up
Press once (let go within 0.8 s) and start talking; the green light means it's listening. Press again to stop, and AI turns what you said into clean text.
Double-tap: translateComing soon
Speak English and the translation is typed. Double-tap again to stop. You choose the target language, and later you'll switch it quickly from the floating bar or the menu bar.
Hold about 1 s: AI AssistantComing soon
Call the Agent and say what you need: rewrite, ask a question, search the web. Hold again to stop.
Didn't work?
The red light flashes twice and it buzzes twice: the app isn't open or Bluetooth dropped. Check, then press the Main key again.

Same as pressing Enter: your message goes out.
Double-tap: select all
Selects all the text in the input box.
Hold about 1 s: delete
Deletes one character. Select all first, then hold, to clear everything.

Double-tap Side to select all, hold Side to delete, then tap Main and say it again.
5Power and pairing
Turn on: hold Side for 1 s
At 1 s it flashes red 3 times and buzzes 3 times: let go. The green light flashes 3 times, it turns on and connects to your computer. To wake it from sleep, hold for 1 s the same way.
Pair a new computer: hold Main for 8 s
Let go after 3 buzzes. The green light blinks fast: click Pair in the app. Tap Side to cancel; it stops on its own if not paired within 2 minutes.
Charging
Red light blinking slowly = charging, steady = full. Plugging in doesn't turn it on.
Restart: hold Side for 8 s
Use it when the ring stops responding. Let go after 3 buzzes; it reconnects to your computer and keeps all your data.
Factory reset: hold Side for 15 s
Keep holding after the buzz at 8 s. At 15 s the red light comes on with a long buzz of about 1.5 s: let go now.
This deletes all pairings and settings.
