- Pedal 1 – This is the left pedal of the Bluetooth pedal.
- Pedal 2 – Second pedal on a 4 pedal Bluetooth pedal
- Pedal 3 – This is the second pedal for any “Two Pedal” Bluetooth pedal.
- Pedal 4 – Fouth pedal on a 4 pedal Bluetooth pedal
- Scroll Amount – You can adjust the amount the page will scroll when you use the “Scroll Down” or “Scroll Up” options.

Support of Bluetooth pedals other than Airturn
Your Bluetooth pedal should be configured to send the following keyboard commands:
- Pedal 1: Page Up
- Pedal 2: Page Left
- Pedal 3: Page Down
- Pedal 4: Page Right
In “Settings” tap “Airturn Settings”. Turn “Airturn Support” on. Choose “Keyboard”. Your Bluetooth pedal is Bluetooth Keyboard where the pedals act like keyboard keys.
The downside of this approach is your keyboard will be the Bluetooth pedal. You won’t see the onscreen keyboard unless you disconnect the pedal. Getting an Airturn pedal is another way to solve this problem.
