[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1012930, member: 131855"] The "power" button on the keyboard affects the keyboard only. It does not power up the system like the keyboard on our LC II did. i miss that as well. @Jellytoes The Apple keyboards automatically go into a low power mode when not in use and "wake up" when not in use. Apple does recommend that you power down the keyboard down if it won't be used for a few days. Press the power button for three seconds.

I eventually stopped doing that because the next morning I'd forget to turn it on then wonder why things weren't working. Besides the extra little bit I might have gained in battery lige wasn't worth the hassle. I get pretty good battery life by simply letting the keyboard manage itself. [/QUOTE]
