Eleanor,
You make a good point.
In view of all mails re this it gives me another idea to add.
Why not Janet install the 'be my eyes' app.
By the way I haven't got it but I believe it works well for folk I read of
who use it.

Hi Janet
Okay, so this keyboard does not have a replaceable battery instead it is a
rechargeable lithium So try plugging the unit into a USB port using the
supplied cable for a couple of hours. When you flick the switch on the
bottom of the unit into the on position which is to the left, the keyboard
should light up as there are some small lights on the top of the keyboard.
The Bluetooth key is the letter C so you need to press the function key
which is second in from the left with a C together to initiate Bluetooth
pairing. You may need sighted assistance to help you with the stage as there
will be a blue light blinking when Bluetooth pairing mode is activated.
Sorry I can't help further and this but I hope this guidance helps you with
getting your keyboard set up.

Hi Janet
Could you please send me the link from which you purchased this keyboard as
there are so many and I don't know which one you got. Unfortunately
Bluetooth keyboards come up for discussion a lot on this list and I
recommend several different models depending on individual needs and
circumstances. Thank you.

Hi, I have tried your suggestion to bluetooth the keyboard but until now
nothing which is why I asked where the batteries are because it could be
that there are no batteries in it or you have to pull out a tab or
something. Janet

Hi Janet
Many of these keyboards are use a function key combination to begin the
pairing process. This can be function key and see but I think it is in this
case, the function key is on the far left hand side of the keyboard, second
key in. Press the function key and C together, then the keyboard should show
up in the list of devices in Bluetooth on your iPad. The switch which you're
talking about is the power switch and to the right is off and to the left is
on when the keyboard is in the correct orientation with the in front of you.
Hope this helps.

perhaps Janet the switch is for on and off and there might be a tiny button
which you press for a Bluetooth.

Hi Janet
Are we talking about a Bluetooth keyboard here? If we are, and you purchased
from the link on this list from Amazon the keyboard I was discussing a few
days ago, the keyboard is a fully rechargeable unit and should have come
with a micro USB cable in the packaging. The keyboard is usually partially
charged from the factory, so you should be able to start using it straight
away but with all these Devices, plugging the keyboard into charge for an
hour will probably not do you any harm and will ensure you have some level
of charge just in case the battery is depleted. Take care and enjoy using
your keyboard.
