Open a command window, and type in the commands shown below in
bold red
text. The
other text shows the sorts of prompts, etc., that you should see at each stage of the
process.
Note, before starting the Bluetooth scan, ensure that the keyboard is in pairing
mode by pressing the ‘Connect’ button on the underside of the keyboard (the Bluetooth
LED should start to flash).
When entering the ‘pair’ command, you will need to replace the MAC address shown with
the MAC address of your keyboard.
When you see the line shown in
bold blue
, enter the requested PIN code using the
Bluetooth keyboard and hit ‘Enter’. This should complete the pairing process.
