User Guide: Brydge 12.3 - for Microsoft Surface Pro models (4, 5, 6, 7)
1 - IMPORTANT:
Your Brydge 12.3 hinges are set up for the Surface Pro 7, Pro 6, Pro 5, and Pro 4
NOTE: If you have a screen protector on your Surface Pro screen, we highly recommend you remove it prior to attaching the Brydge 12.3 keyboard, to prevent undue pressure on your screen.
2 - TO REPLACE: Remove the current shims, and ensure the inner-surface of the hinge is clean and smooth
NOTE: Removing all remaining glue is not essential
3 - Remove tape backing from front and back of new shims, and insert evenly into hinges
4 - NOTE: Ensure the shim is pressed firmly against the bottom of the hinge before pressing on the front and back
5 - Place your Brydge keyboard on a flat surface, insert your Surface Pro into the hinges with the kickstand closed
6 - Lift your Surface Pro to test the hinge grip. Your Surface Pro and Brydge keyboard should be held tightly together
7 - If your Surface Pro is loose, remove and give the hinges a gentle squeeze. Repeat this process until your Surface Pro is held firmly
8 - To remove, put one hand firmly holding your Brydge keyboard against a flat hard surface. Then grab your Surface Pro and pull straight up
9 - To manually power on, press and hold Fn + Delete keys. The light will turn green for 3 seconds to indicate power
