Typing on an iPad screen can be slow and uncomfortable, especially for long notes or emails. An Anker Bluetooth keyboard solves this problem by giving you a real typing experience.

This guide explains every step in detail. You’ll learn how to turn on your keyboard, pair it with your iPad, fix connection problems, and use it the right way. Everything is written in simple words so anyone can follow easily.

What You Need Before Starting?

Before pairing your Anker keyboard, make sure you have these ready:

• Charged Anker keyboard – Charge it using the USB cable or replace the batteries.

• iPad with Bluetooth – Most iPads have built-in Bluetooth.

• A few minutes of time – The process takes less than five minutes once you know the steps.

Keep both devices close to each other during setup around one or two feet apart.

Step-by-Step Guide to Connect

Step 1: Power On the Anker Keyboard

Press the Power button on your Anker keyboard. You’ll usually find it on the top edge or side. A small LED light should turn on.

If the light doesn’t appear, check the power source. For rechargeable models, plug in the cable and charge it for at least 15–20 minutes. For battery models, replace the old batteries.

Some Anker keyboards turn off automatically after a few minutes of no use. So, if you haven’t used it in a while, press a key or the power button again to wake it up.

Step 2: Enable Bluetooth on the iPad

Open your iPad and go to Settings.
Tap Bluetooth from the left menu.
Turn the Bluetooth switch ON.

Once it’s on, your iPad will start searching for available Bluetooth devices nearby. You’ll see a spinning icon next to “Devices.” Keep this screen open.

Step 3: Put the Anker Keyboard in Pairing Mode

Most Anker keyboards have a Bluetooth key or a Connect button. Press and hold it for about 3–5 seconds until you see the LED light start blinking.

This blinking means the keyboard is ready to connect. It’s now sending a Bluetooth signal to your iPad.

If your keyboard supports multiple devices, it might have keys like Fn + 1, Fn + 2, or Fn + 3. Each combination saves one device slot. Press one of them while in pairing mode if you plan to connect multiple devices later.

Step 4: Connect Through iPad Settings

Look at your iPad’s Bluetooth screen. After a few seconds, you should see your Anker Keyboard listed under “Other Devices.”

Tap the name that says Anker Keyboard (or something similar).
Your iPad may ask for a code if that happens, type the code on the keyboard and press Enter.

Once paired, the device name will move from “Other Devices” to “My Devices” and show Connected next to it. The blinking light on the keyboard will stop.

You can now type freely on your iPad using your Anker keyboard.

Step 5: Test the Connection

To confirm everything works, open any app that lets you type for example:

• Notes

• Safari search bar

• Messages

Type a few words. If the letters appear instantly, your setup is complete.

If there’s no response, repeat the pairing process. Also check that Bluetooth is still on and the keyboard light is visible.

How to Reconnect Later?

Once you pair the keyboard for the first time, your iPad remembers it. You won’t need to repeat all the steps.

Just turn on your Anker keyboard and enable Bluetooth on your iPad. The two will reconnect automatically within a few seconds.

If it doesn’t reconnect, go to Settings → Bluetooth, find the keyboard name, and tap Connect again.

How to Disconnect or Forget the Keyboard?

Sometimes you may need to remove the connection for example, if you’re pairing with another device.

1. Go to Settings → Bluetooth on your iPad.

2. Tap the small “i” icon beside your Anker keyboard name.

3. Select Forget This Device.

4. Then pair again later using the same steps.

This clears old data and helps fix pairing problems.
