How to Connect Anker Bluetooth Keyboard? 6 Simple Steps

Connecting an Anker Bluetooth keyboard may seem tricky at first, but it’s actually quite simple once you know the steps.

This wireless keyboard helps you type faster and more comfortably on phones, tablets, and computers without any cables. Let’s go through every step carefully so you can start using your keyboard right away.

What You Need Before You Start?

Before pairing, make sure a few things are ready:

• The Anker Bluetooth keyboard has enough battery power or is fully charged.

• Your device’s Bluetooth feature is turned on.

• The keyboard is close to your device (within a few feet).

• No other Bluetooth devices are interfering nearby.

These small steps can prevent connection issues later.

Step 1: Turn On the Anker Bluetooth Keyboard

Find the power switch on your Anker keyboard. It’s usually on the side or back. Slide it to the “ON” position. A small LED light will blink or glow to show the keyboard has power.

If there’s no light, recharge the keyboard using the provided USB cable. Most Anker keyboards take a few hours to charge fully.

Step 2: Put the Keyboard in Pairing Mode

After turning it on, press and hold the Bluetooth button for a few seconds. Some models use the Fn + C or Fn + Bluetooth key combination instead.

Once the LED light begins blinking rapidly, your keyboard is now in pairing mode. This means it’s ready to be found by your device.

Step 3: Open Bluetooth Settings on Your Device

The next step depends on what kind of device you are using.

For Windows PC

1. Click the Start button and open Settings.

2. Go to Devices, then select Bluetooth & other devices.

3. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.

4. Choose Add Bluetooth or other device.

5. Select Bluetooth and wait for the list to load.

For Mac (macOS)

1. Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner.

2. Select System Settings or System Preferences.

3. Choose Bluetooth from the menu.

4. Turn on Bluetooth.

5. Wait until your Anker keyboard name appears.

For iPhone or iPad

1. Go to Settings.

2. Tap Bluetooth.

3. Turn on Bluetooth if it’s off.

4. Wait for the list of devices to appear.

For Android Devices

1. Open Settings.

2. Tap Connected devices or Bluetooth.

3. Turn Bluetooth on.

4. Wait until your Anker keyboard name appears in the list.

Step 4: Pair the Keyboard with Your Device

Once your device shows “Anker Keyboard” or a similar name on the list, tap or click it.

Some devices may ask for a code to confirm the connection. If you see a code on your screen:

• Type that code on the Anker keyboard.

• Press the Enter key.

After that, the blinking LED light will stop. That means your keyboard is connected successfully.

Step 5: Test the Connection

To make sure it’s working, open any text app like Notes or Word and type a few words.
If letters appear on your screen, the connection is good.

If nothing happens, repeat the steps or restart your device before trying again.

Step 6: Reconnecting Next Time

Once you’ve paired your Anker keyboard, you don’t need to do it again. Your device will remember it.
Turn on Bluetooth and power on the keyboard, and they will reconnect automatically within a few seconds.

If the connection doesn’t happen automatically, open Bluetooth settings, find the keyboard name, and tap Connect.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

1. Keyboard Not Showing Up

If the keyboard doesn’t appear on your Bluetooth list:

• Make sure it’s in pairing mode (light should blink fast).

• Move the keyboard closer to the device.

• Turn Bluetooth off and on again.

• Restart both the device and keyboard.

2. Keyboard Connected But Not Typing

If the keyboard connects but doesn’t type, try this:

• Remove the keyboard from your Bluetooth list.

• Pair it again from the start.

• Make sure no other Bluetooth keyboard is connected to the same device.

3. Battery Problems

If the keyboard doesn’t turn on, charge it for at least 30 minutes.

4. Lag or Delay in Typing

Typing delays can happen if:

• The keyboard battery is low.

Keep your keyboard close and fully charged for better performance.
