Otherwise, it's important to note that when the pedal is in mode 2 or 3, it is acting like a computer keyboard when paired with the device. That means that when you press the pedal, it will send a key down event like "page down" or "page up". So if you bring up an internet browser, navigate to a page that can be scrolled and then press the pedal, it should scroll the page if you are using mode 3 on the pedal (page up/page down). If that doesn't work, then the pedal is definitely not communicating correctly with the OS. As a side note, I would recommend trying mode 3 with MobileSheets versus mode 2, although in theory either should work.

Today I took all devices (BT500S-4, Notebook, tablet, ipda, android phone) to give it another try.
First I connected it to my phone and connected it to the bt500. It worked, so I managed to install the new firmware 3.0.6. That didn't change anything. Then I updated all available drivers on my hp x2 pro tablet, esp. firmware and bluetooth driver. It didn't change anything.
Then I connected it to my ipad pro. There it worked well! The Airturn Manager App is much more elegant than this on Android. So I continued working with the Ipad.
The Airturn Manager app offers many many opportunities to change the setting of the bt500. There are some different input modes, and you can assign every key combination you can think of, even for releasing the switch! Really amazing - if it's an Ipad. So I experimented a bit: I changed the mode "Mechanism" from "Pulse" to "Momentary" and some other settings; every time I changeg something, I stopped Bluetooth on the Ipad, startet Bluetooth on the tablet and looked what happens. Well .. nothing happened. I changed the code of one switch from "arrow up" to the letter "q". Opening a document on the Ipad and pressing the switch I wrote some "q"s like it should be. On the tablet nothing happened.
Maybe someone has an idea what's going on! For me it seems like the bt500 isn't recognized as a keyboard.
Hohever: I'm stuck with this.
