How to set up my keyboard

  • Press and hold Fn + 1 at the same time for 3-5 seconds (you should see a rapid blinking green light).
  • Go to Settings > Bluetooth > BTBLMBSMINI should pop up under Nearby Devices > Press Connect 

 

For Apple users only - Keyboard set-up assistant 

Once you have successfully connected your keyboard to your Mac, you may get a pop-up that states you  need to identify your keyboard (Keyboard Set up Assistant). Here are the steps:

  1. Click on continue
  2. Press and release the 'Z' key
  3. Press and release the '/?' key 
  4. Choose 'ANSI' as your region
  5. Click 'Done'

Note: There are two instances when this pop up may not come up - The first being the connection was unsuccessful. You can check if this is the case by doing a quick test type in any application you'd like (i.e. Google, Safari, Notes), if you are not able to type, you may want to go through the sync instructions again. The second reason the pop up may not appear consistently is because it only triggers when a new, unknown USB or Bluetooth keyboard is detected, or if the system fails to recognize an existing one due to connectivity glitches. You can always manually do it by:

Settings > Keyboards > Change keyboard type  - (go through process listed above)
