My first advise is to plug a USB mouse to see if you do any navigation or activate settings

Try hooking up just a standard wireless mouse and see if that works, it may not be connecting to your Bluetooth keyboard properly yet. If the mouse does work use it to get to Bluetooth settings.

I can't connect them either. Instead, I removed the USB from my Windows tablet and attached it to the keyboard. Next, I set up my tablet for Bluetooth. Then I pressed the "fn" and "E" keys (for Windows) the same time. The tablet and keyboard are connected via wi-fi.

Same thing happened to me, make sure the keyboard is charged and turn it on. Then turn ur tablet bluetooth on. Once it notifies you that there are bluetooth devices available u click on it and it should be the last one listed in the settings. The power light blinks once when its one, im not sure of the rest. Hope this helps!

I tried without success on my android phone via bluetooth, can't answer for other operating systems.

i know that sometimes hitting the blue tooth button helps. also, i've checked the settings>hit bluetoth (turn it off then on again) and you should get a pop-up about enabled devices. the keyboard should be the one- hit it and let it accept. hit cancel on the pop-up and it should work

Well I don't know what went wrong. After the Nook sees you keyboard you have to pair it and the status should be connected.Before you can start typing you have to approximy point at the place were you want to start typing. With the direction keys you can exactly go to the place were you want to be.You can also use a bluetooth mouse for the pricise pointing that works great.Hope that this helps you. As the bluetooth keyboard is on on my Nook the screen keyboard does not appear.

The device may need enabling in terms of being able to be found by the keyboard, as bluetooth devices are usually unfindable in bluetooth settings for security. If that isn't the problem, I don't know a solution. I returned this keyboard, but pairing worked for me, I just wanted something bigger.

There is a little connector on the bottom of the tablet that connects to the keyboard- the keyboard is only usable when the tablet is physically docked. It does not use Bluetooth to connect. There are magnetic clamps that click in to place when the tablet is docked with the keyboard and a button must be pressed at the base of the docked tablet for it to be released. If you want to use a Bluetooth keyboard, however, a GREAT one is Logitech K810, made for Windows 8 tablets and sold by Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Bluetooth-Illuminated-Keyboard-Smartphones/dp/B0099SMFVQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350675549&sr=8-1&keywords=Logitech+K810

Once the unit is turned on, it says waiting for bluetooth. Your phone or other device you are trying to connect should be able to see it then. My phone and tablet connected just fine but I was unable to connect my chromebook. Some devices may not be compatible. I hope this helps.

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.

It's not really about the OS. It has to do with the hardware that you have. It just has to be Bluetooth ready. Go to connections and then follow the instructions. Or, simply look it up on the internet. Mine work just fine.

Hmm, I really don't know. I've found that no matter what version of Android you have, it's totally hardware dependent when it comes to peripherals and even what apps work. It's one of the most frustrating things about Android. Sorry I can't be of more help.

This one Is not the right one, you should get another one Bluetooth enable if the tablet have Bluetooth, I don't know it because I bought it for a gift, probably you should get a micro usb Keyboard

there were no directions when I got this but it was just a matter of going to the bluetooth on the tablet and searching for it. Make sure it's on when you search. It may occasionally need to be charged but even that doesn't happen often.

Hey! So basically what you need to do is turn on your tablet and make sure the Bluetooth is on. Once it is on turn on your keyboard. Once the keyboard is on and the Bluetooth is on in your tablet press the circle butting at the top of the keyboard it should be in the middle of the top of the keyboard. Once you press that it should pop up as something you can pair with your device click pair with device on your tablets screen it will say press a certain number combo on it and then it will work! If your keyboard still isn't working try charging it and then do everything I just said! Hope this helps Hey!

Its been awhile since I bought and return this item. As I recall MAC OS means it only work on apple computer. Dont bother buying this item, its a hard keyboard that folded in half. Try to look for bluetooth sleek and slim keyboard that can be put or connect to a tablet. Another thing is the battery life. Wireless device is in need of excessive power so be prepare to buy a rechargeable battery aswell. My advise is dont bother getting a keyboard for a tablet. If you really want a keyboard for a tablet better buy the new device called 2 in 1 laptop. Its more powerful than android tablet at the same time it feels your using a tablet aswell.

I had the same problem. It's the wrong manual. Just turn the key board on and turn the blue tooth on on the tablet. Then type the code it says and press enter and you're good to go. Hope this helps. :)
