You'll need to make sure that the keyboard is charged fully. Then you will need to go to your settings and pair the keyboard through your blue tooth. Make sure the keyboard is on when you try pairing. The blue light should turn on at the top left.

Is your bluetooth on? Make sure you go to settings and turn it on. Did it come with a charger? It may need to be charged also.Mine had a on/off switch in top right corner on the side..i couldnt see it. Had to really look for it.

You should have gotten instructions. There is a cord to charge the keyboard... it's wireless but you have to enable it in your ipad settings. Make sure keyboard is charged and then slide the switch on the side until you see a light. When the program you are in requires a keyboard if the keyboard is set up right it will let you use it instead of the internal keyboard of the ipad. Hope this helps.

I honestly cannot tell you because mine still does not work. It did not come with any kind of instruction.

When I plugged mine in, I got a "set up your keyboard" screen which showed some things. I THINK there was a link or something there to get more info. If you go into devices and hardware, right-click on the picture of the keyboard and then go to Keyboard Settings, that will get you into the setup stuff. Just keep clicking on the categories and you should find what you want.

The directions are a bit ambiguous. You go to Bluetooth on your Lattitude. Turn on the keyboard and hit the connection button. Highlight the keyboard when it appears under Bluetooth devices and it will give you a four digit number you type in then the keyboard will connect. If this does not work I would suspect an interface/programming problem and look elsewhere for help. I agree the keyboard comes partially charged and it took over an hour to reach full charge before I linked. It is a great folio and keyboard.

We just followed the instructions under "Settings" one by one (very slowly). Basically you will be pressing the UP and OK button for each selection after switching it to ON. Try again. It should work. Thank you.

I'm not in front of it, but I connected it recently and I believe there is a button on the top right of the keyboard that you press to put it in discovery mode, then go to your bluetooth settings and go through the process of discovering it and it should pick it right up. You'll need to enter a keycode that appears on your screen into the keyboard, then it should work.Of note, I had connected it previously, and it wouldn't pick it up when I tried to connect it. When I scanned for devices in windows 8, nothing would appear. I first had to remove the device from windows 8 (it was showing up in the list) and only then would it pick it up.

You shouldn't have to install anything. Try this: in the bar at the bottom of the screen, on the right side, there should be a button that says "Switch Keyboard". Press that, and there should be an entry at the top of the list that says "Use physical keyboard", with a switch next to it. Ensure this switch is on. If this doesn't show up, that means it can't see the keyboard currently. Make sure the keyboard's physical switch is turned on, then hit the shift key a couple times to make sure it's not in sleep mode, wait a few seconds, and try again. If it still doesn't work, try re-pairing the keyboard. You shouldn't have to install anything.

Just keep pressing the Mode key until it comes up. It's a bit finicky but it does work.

The quick answer is to use the "set" key hold it down until it responds then use the "mode" for up and use "mem" for down. When you get the right number hit "set" and move on to the next bit of info. Don't over think it. It's a very simple machine. Hope this helps. There should have been printed directions with it in the box.

When I talked to support I suggested they change the keyboard embossing. If you can figure it out let me know. I just decided to use my old keyboard.

I've been trying to get my keyboard to sync with my IPAD. The little icon just keeps spinning and won't bring up the window for me to enter the code. Any suggestions?

Thank you for following up with me. I actually got the keyboard to work properly. It was probably my lack of knowledge. So all is well with my keyboard and I love it. Thank you

Scott, it's been about a year since I bought mine. I do remember it is a bit confusing to set. I don't know where my original instructions for setting it are. The last time I changed it I just started pressing buttons until I figured out what was happening. I work with computers as a career, so it wasn't too difficult for me. If I can try to do something to help you, let me know.

character and keyboard viewer in the top bar, if it is a certain way, it creates a problem, go into keyboard preferences and check to see how this is set, I had some problem with that, once I got it set, it works great!
