I found the key pad has to be fully charged. I have had no issues with mine.

Try going into the settings on your iPad, to bluetooth. Let the iPad detect the keyboard, then select it. That should do it.

Make sure your keyboard is charged, you can still connect while the keyboard is charging. For mines i just hold the connect button for about 5-10 sec and it connects. While on your blutooth setting it should pick up the signal and then you just touch your ipad and it should connect. Hope this helped.

First, your Ipad must be bluetooth compatible for it to connect it. Secondly, the keyboard must be charged, once charged there is a on and off power button on side of keyboard. Thirdly, you must push the connection button and pair with Ipad.

You can pair it simply by turning the bluetooth setting on your ipad on. Then turn on the bluetooth device. In the ipad bluetooth section, you will now see that the ipad is finding a device which should by the outdoor tech adapt. Click on it and then it should be linked just fine.

I bought this unit to do the same thing with my iPad but couldn't achieve a bluetooth connection with the unit. I tried to get answers from TomTom's site and from a visit to the Apple store but to no avail so I gave up on the unit.

I had the same problem. Fixed to using the following steps1. To to Bluetooth settings and forget the keyboard2. Turn off Bluetooth3. Shut down and restart the iPad4. Turn on Bluetooth and pair the keyboard.

You might have to remove your Ipad from your skin (cover) because the Ipad fits in a slot on the key pad and it's a snug fit. I have to remove my Ipad from the skin cover but the keyboard is great, good luck

You have to make sure your bluetooth is turned on on your Ipad. Make sure you scan and connect for device. If it does not connect right away, turn off speaker and then turn back on again. And make sure the speaker is charged. It's got about a 4-6 hr life if used constantly. It took me a couple tries to get it to connect but once it did it works great. Or as a previous person posted, you can also connect it like you would an earbud, but then you are limited to cord distance. I've had my speaker in the other room from where my pad was located. Works great. Hope you get it to work. :)

You have to hold the button down on the keyboard while the blue light is flashing. But make sure your Bluetooth is turned on on the IPAD. When it is paired you will see it show up on your IPAD and then click on the one that list the keyboard and it will start working.

shut down both of them and restart that should work. also in your bluettooth setting of iPad, you should see the ultrathin keyboard Folio i5, and the status has to be connected.

Have you paired the keyboard , did you turn off you Bluetooth settings ; have you recently upgraded the iOS software sometime it may reset setting or have you manually resetted settings? If all these have been checked then the keyboard might have failed. Trying the pairing process again

I just followed the directions. I turned on Bluetooth on my iPad. The turned the switch on the keyboard and it showed a blue light. When a number pops up enter it and it should work.

You'll need to charge the keyboard first. Mine came with very little charge. Once you've done that, there's a little switch on the side that's a power switch. Flip it on and then press the connect button. The indicator light should start to flash and that's how you know it's ready to be paired. Then go to settings on your iPad and enable bluetooth if it's not already on. When you see "Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard" come up in the list of devices, click on it and wait for a little window to pop up. The window will ask you to enter the 4-digit code using the keyboard, then hit the enter button on the keyboard. It should then finish the pairing process on it's own. As far as I know it works with all iPads including first generations (though I'm not sure about the mini), so pairing shouldn't be a problem.

I am on iOS devices but I simply turn it on, it shows up, and then from within the settings, bluetooth, menu of the device I select it and pair it. I will say a cople times I have turned it on and had a hard time pairing it, only to realize it was paired to a different device. Simply turning off the different device fixes it.

Sure... Mines paired quite well after I called the manufacturer and they walked me step by step.. And it went smooth as I had quite and issue connecting as well.. Tips: 1 Make sure batteries at full. 2. Make sure it's switched to Mac in the back of keypad of device. 3. Make sure your Mac actually picks up the device. 4. I recommend you looking up the # as it went by like a breeze with me.. They will walk you step by step hope this helped!!!

I paired it with my ipad 2 and android not problems, did you look in the owners manual? In the back it suggests how to trouble shoot it if you have problems connecting, good luck!

um, im not very good with tech stuff, but when i got the case with the keyboard i turned it on. i clicked the button at the end of the right side of the very top row <...> i have no idea what it is, but i think its the wifi button. idk i always mess with it. the most important part is to go to ipad settings and go to bluetooth. i turn it off and then back on. it should search for devices. and if found it should say bluetooth wireless keyboard. then click connect, and it should tell you to imput some numbers.
