USB is just for charging. Open Bluetooth on computer, press connect button on keyboard and they board should appear in the Bluetooth options, you then type a code into the keyboard and it connects.

the device is great, but I could not get the device to connect to blue tooth very inconsistent. I returned the device for this reason.

Hopefully your Bluetooth is working properly, I had some issues with it after updating to Windows 8.1 (driver needed updating). Click the Bluetooth icon on the task bar, select "Add a Bluetooth Device". You should now be at a "Manage Bluetooth Devices" Metro style screen. Ensure the keyboard is powered on and hit the "Connect" button next to the power switch on the keyboard. You should then see it as an option to pair with the tablet. Click on pair, then type in the numbers you see on the screen and press enter. Hopefully that is all you need, but if your Bluetooth is wonky, get the updated drivers from the Intel website.

it connects via bluetooth. the keyboard is recognised by the device when bluetooth is on, the usb cable is for charging the keyboard. it works very good.

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.

this is a bluetooth device and thus requires drivers, it will not function before the operating system loads. the included usb adapter requires a usb port or a port on a connected hub. check your operating system for compatible driver availability. short answer is "it depends on your OS."

It doesn't connect to your computer through USB. It will charge that way but you can't connect to the device. Your computer is trying to "read" it like it would a flash drive.

No USB or Bluetooth. I use a 3.5mm to RCA cable to hook mine up. Sounds great that way. Hope this helps.

Try going to Settings, Bluetooth, Click connect on Speaker ` It should then connect.

You have to use your bluetooth option on whatever device you are using and the bluetooth should "locate" this headset and then you connect -- I think I held down the middle button till it says 'connected" - Hope this helps.

Mine didn't either. assume faulty hardware because driver install wouldn't matter if windows can't even find a device to install a driver for. threw it away and the bought a bluetooth 4.0 name brand for $10 which required no drivers. plug and play.

You just plug it in to the USB port on your desk top and or lap top and then connect to blue tooth.

Brian I had the same problem. It was my error. There is an On/off button on the side. Once you switch it on you then press the connect button. Make sure that the tablet bluetooth is on

Not sure what the issue is. You plug this onto the dock then connect your bluetooth device wirelessly to it.

This blue tooth adapter can come broken, remove the old driver and reinstall. If that doesn't work, I would suggest that you return and buy a different adapter.

You can use blue tooth, 3.5mm cable or USB cable to connect your device to this stuff

I tried connecting to my laptop via Bluetooth, but it didn't work. I suppose that it should work if connected by cable, but I haven't tried it.

Go into the Bluetooth options & look for BTV1 & tap that then it should pair up with your device

Press & hold middle button. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on the device you want it to connect to.
