Scroll down and tap on “Pair New Device” or “Search for Devices” and tap it to allow your phone to scan for the Bluetooth keyboard.

Step 4: Tap on the keyboard name and wait for it to connect. If it doesn’t work, ensure that the keyboard isn’t already connected to another device and the battery is charged or inserted properly into the battery holder.
Step 5: You might see a popup asking you to type a Bluetooth pairing code or pin. Most keyboards use a pairing code/pin of zero four times (0000). The keyboard might also generate its pairing code/pin or have one written in the manual.

Enter the pin on your keyboard and press the return or enter key to submit.
Step 6: The keyboard should be connected and ready for use. You can start typing to test it or press Windows + C to open your contacts.

💡 TIP: Remember to disconnect your Android phone’s Bluetooth and turn off the keyboard when you are done using the keyboard.
