OOPS, I stand, or sit corrected. SMILE:
Now I have heard of Blue Tooth keyboards that take standard batteries.
Maybe I should invest in one, since the two I have don’t want to hold a charge
for more than five minutes.
I can charge them overnight and it seems like right in the middle of what I am
trying to do, they get sluggish and that little battery low light starts
blinking.
If they took that light away, maybe the batteries would last a bit longer since
they wouldn’t be needed to make that light blink.
I’ll have to have my roommate see if there is a brand name anywhere so I can
advice against anyone getting one of these POS Keyboards.
Thanks David, for the info.
Just goes to prove, we can always learn something new.
PJ.

PeeJay,
I have several Bluetooth keyboards. All but the Logitech K810 take either AA
or AAA batteries.
During a quick search on Amazon, I did not find any "A n c h o r" keyboards,
but did find some "A n k e r" Bluetooth keyboards. Some of these Anker
bluetooth keyboards had built-in rechargeable batteries, and some used
replaceable AAA batteries.

Hello Hans,
Are you sure you have a Blue Tooth keyboard and not just a wireless one.
There is a difference.
I’ve never heard of a Blue Tooth keyboard that takes batteries, they are
usually rechargeable.
If you don’t find that paring button, then check thoroughly in the box and
through all the paperwork and packing material for a very small piece that
looks like it plugs into a USB port.
If you find something like that, then what you have is a basic wireless
keyboard, and it will not work with either your tablet or your phone.
They are pretty cool to use with a desktop computer though.
Hopefully you will find that paring button on the keyboard.
They are usually pretty small, circular, and they are a press button, not a
switch.
The switch is the power button, and in order to conserve batteries you will
need to switch the keyboard off when it’s not in use.
Good luck,
PJ.

Subject: [vi-kindle] Anchor Blue Tooth Keyboard and Fire tablet
Hi everyone,
Today I bought me a basic Bluetooth keyboard, An Anchor Ultra Slim keyboard
for just under $20. It uses 2 tripple A batteries which I also got, and put
into the keyboard. After taking it out of the box here at home, I treid to
pair it with my Firs Tablet without success. It didn’t even show up at all
when trying to search for Bluetooth devices. The keyboard was switched to the
On position and even tried switching the bateries around, but all without
success. I’m visually impaired and therefore can not read the instrutions that
came in the booklet with the keyboard so, I am not sure if I am not doing
something right. Any ideas on what could be the problem? I also tried pairing
this keyboard with my iPhone 5c without any success either. Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
