Before you begin:
- Confirm that your Bluetooth accessory is compatible with your Kindle
Fire HD.Bluetooth microphones, microphone-enabled headsets, and low
energy devices are not supported. To learn more, go to Connect to
Bluetooth on Kindle Fire HD
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201730070>.
Note: Bluetooth is not available on Kindle Fire 2nd Generation.
- Turn on Bluetooth pairing on your supported accessory. These steps
vary by device. Refer to your accessory's manufacturer if you need help
turning on Bluetooth.
- Verify that the accessory is within range of your device. You won't be
able to pair your device with your Bluetooth accessory if they aren't close
to each other.
Turn on Bluetooth pairing on your Kindle Fire:
1. Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap Wireless, and then tap
Bluetooth.
2. Next to Enable Bluetooth, tap On. A list of available Bluetooth
devices will appear.
3. On the accessory or other device that you want to pair with your
Kindle Fire, make sure that Bluetooth functionality is turned on so that
your accessory or device is discoverable.
4. Tap a Bluetooth accessory to pair it with your Kindle Fire, and then
follow any additional pairing instructions. After you pair your Bluetooth
accessory with your Kindle Fire, a Bluetooth indicator will appear next to
the wireless indicator in the top right corner of the screen. If the
Bluetooth indicator is gray, your Kindle Fire is not paired with your
Bluetooth accessory.
5. Restart your Kindle Fire if you are still unable to pair your device
with your Bluetooth accessory. Press and hold the Power button for 40
seconds or until the device restarts automatically. If your device restarts
automatically before 40 seconds has passed, release the Power button. If
your device does not automatically restart after 40 seconds, press the
Power button to turn it on.

HI,
I just received my new Amazon Fire tablet. I am trying to get it to work
with a BT keyboard but it doesn't seem to want to work.
The tablet says that the keyboard is in the paired devices list but the
status at the top of the screen says BT is disconnected. I can't get the
tablet to respond to any keystrokes at all.
Any ideas on what I should look at?
thanks.
