Rapoo E6700 Setup Instructions 

Setup Using GUI (NOOBS/Raspbian) 

1.

 

Insert SD card into Raspberry Pi. 

2.

 

Connect HDMI cable from Raspberry Pi to monitor. 

3.

 

Connect a standard USB keyboard and mouse into USB sockets on Raspberry Pi. 

4.

 

Connect the power supply to the Raspberry Pi, and switch on. 

5.

 

Once the Raspberry Pi has fully booted, you should be in the standard Raspbian 
desktop. The version of Raspbian on the SD card provided does not currently have 
Bluetooth support installed, so you should not see a Bluetooth icon on the taskbar. 

 

However, upgrading Raspbian will cause Bluetooth support to be installed. To do 
this, you will need to be connected to the internet; so either connect to a WiFi 
connection by clicking on the network icon at the top right of the desktop screen and 
select the required network, or connect an Ethernet cable between the Pi and the 
router. 

6.

 

Open a terminal window on the Raspberry Pi, and type in the following commands:- 

sudo apt update 

sudo apt upgrade 

If you find that the 

apt

 command does not work, you should use the 

apt-get

 

command instead:- 

sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get upgrade 

7.

 

Once the upgrade has completed, you should see a Bluetooth icon in the taskbar.
