The functions of Page down and Page up key can be switched by holding down the Page down and Page up key at the same time. When you click the Page down or Page up key, the key value sent to the computer can be the up and down arrow on the keyboard, or the left and right arrow on the keyboard, or the Page down and Page up key on the keyboard.
When the key function is customized, the definition is only for one of these three modes.

Figure 28
4. Short Press Function and Default
Click the blue text of short press function of one key in the figure, and the user can press the key or combination key on the keyboard to set it as the key value of the short press function.
Except for some key combinations used by macOS, such as Command-V and Control-Command-Q which cannot be set to the customizable key, most key combinations can be customized to short press.
Special keys such as playback control and volume control can be directly selected by clicking the special button.
If the user wants to restore the default setting, click the Default button to restore the default value. Whether you set it yourself, click the special key to set it, or restore the default, click the Save button to save it, otherwise the setting will not save and take effect. as shown in the figure.
Figure 29
Emcee up and Emcee down stand for wireless presenter sends letters to the computer in order of their layout on the keyboard. Farrago for macOS uses this method to control music.
Emcee up (without P) and Emcee down (without P) are sent letter sequences that do not contain P, which is used by Sports Sounds Pro for Windows, where P is the pause key.
The key sequence that Emcee up and Emcee down will send to computer is as following:
1，2，3，...9，0
Q，W，E，...I，O，P
A，S，D，...K，L
Z，X，C，...N，M
Figure 30
Some keys or key combinations cannot be entered by pressing keys on the keyboard or selected by Special button. In this case, you can select "Hexadecimal key value" from the pop-up menu of the Special button and enter a hexadecimal key value.
Figure 31
5. Long Press Function and Default
The setting of the long press function is basically as same as the short press. “Keep sending key when long press" is a switch, as shown in the figure.
Figure 32
When the switch is turned on, if the key is pressed for a long time without releasing, the wireless presenter will continuously send the key value to the computer. This is useful for special keys such as volume control. If you set the page up key to increase the volume, and long press the page up key without releasing it, you certainly want the volume to keep increasing to the maximum, rather than to increase only once.
When the switch is off, the wireless presenter only sends the key value to the computer once when the key is pressed for a long time without releasing it. If you set the long press of a key to B, and turn off this switch, when PowerPoint is playing in full screen, you press and hold the key, the USB receiver will send B to the computer, PowerPoint will enter a black screen. Of course, this key value had better send only once.
6. Save & All Defaults
All defaults button means reset all key values to default settings.
If the wireless presenter is connected to the computer through Bluetooth, it may take a long time to restore "All defaults", please wait patiently.
All your customizations take effect only after the Save button is clicked. However, when you click "All Default" button, you do not need to save it, and it will take effect immediately.
VII. Pair Operation
Pair operation is used to establish a relationship between the USB receiver and the wireless presenter. Each wireless presenter is assigned a unique code at the factory, and the USB receiver exclusively responds to the wireless signal of the wireless presenter with its stored unique code. The Pair operation means to save the unique code of the wireless presenter into the USB receiver. If the user loses the USB receiver, they can buy a new USB receiver, and after Pairing, they can continue to use the wireless presenter.
1. Pair:
First click the Pair button of the Norwii Presenter software, keep the distance between the wireless presenter and the USB receiver within 20cm, then turn off the power switch of the wireless presenter and turn it back on. Finally, press the page up and down keys of the wireless presenter and check whether there is key data displayed in the data box on the lower right. Note that you must strictly follow the above sequence. The keys you press are also the page up and down keys, not other keys. If the power of the wireless presenter is on before clicking the Pair button on the software, you must turn it off and turn it on again, and then press the page up and down keys of the wireless presenter.
Some models of wireless presenter automatically emit Pair signals when they are turned on, while others only emit Pair signals when the page up and down keys of the wireless presenter are pressed after powering on. Simply to remember, you should click the Pair button first, then turn off and turn on the power switch of the wireless presenter, and finally press the page up and down keys of the wireless presenter.
Another point to pay special attention to is that when Pairing, the distance between the wireless presenter and the USB receiver should be kept within 20cm. If the distance between the two is too far, the Pair will fail. Paired successfully as shown in the following Figure.
Figure 33
2. Clear pair:
The Clear pair operation is to clear the unique codes of one or more wireless presenters currently saved in the USB receiver. Each wireless presenter has a unique code when it is made in the factory. The Pair operation is to let the USB receiver save the unique code of the wireless presenter. The USB receiver only responds to the wireless signal of the wireless presenter that has saved its unique code in the USB receiver.
For simple function wireless presenter, the USB receiver can save up to 6 unique codes of the wireless presenters. As long as 6 Pair operations are performed, the USB receiver can save the unique codes of 6 wireless presenters and thus be controlled by these 6 wireless presenters at the same time.
The Clear pair is to clear the unique codes of one or more wireless presenters currently saved in the USB receiver at once. After Clear pair, there is no unique code of any wireless presenters saved in the USB receiver, and it is no longer controlled by any wireless presenters.
For Highlight wireless presenters, due to both-way wireless communication, the USB receiver will only save one unique code for the wireless presenter. Each Pair operation will overwrite the previous unique code, and there is no need to perform a Clear operation.
After you clear the code, the USB receiver will not save any unique code. The next time the USB receiver is plugged into the USB port of the computer, the USB receiver will automatically enter the waiting Pair state. At this time, there is no need to open the Norwii Presenter software to click Pair button. Just turn off then turn on the power switch of the wireless presenter and then press the page up and down keys, you can Pair the wireless presenter.
3. Clear screen: Clear the content of the lower right data box.
4. Wireless presenter connects to macOS computer via Bluetooth.
Only the Bluetooth Norwii wireless presenter has Bluetooth. Wireless presenter with Bluetooth usually comes with a USB receiver, which can be used on some desktop computers without Bluetooth. For wireless presenters with Bluetooth, when the USB receiver is inserted into the computer USB port, the wireless presenter will first establish a connection with the USB receiver. It means the USB receiver has priority than computer’s Bluetooth.
The wireless presenter can only have one connection with computer, USB receiver or computer Bluetooth. It is unable to establish a connection with the computer's Bluetooth after it has established a connection via the USB receiver. Only when the USB receiver is unplugged and the wireless presenter is not connected to the USB receiver, the connection can be made via computer Bluetooth. Click "Connect via computer Bluetooth" in the Pair tab of Norwii Presenter, you will see the process. The specific operation is shown in the following figure.
