Welcome PJ! As for the keyboard, I think you're correct. There might
even be a pair code to key in as well. If not, that would be a bonus!
Stay well ... William

Hello,
I'm a total newbie to the Fire Tablet, having just acquired one a few days
ago.
I'm hoping to get some in-depth instruction on its use, from the people on
this list.
In the meantime, I think I can help with that keyboard that Carol is
struggling with.
First off, the slide switchis probably not for charging, that's most likely
the on/off button.
The press button is what you would use to pair it with your device.
Try charging it for a few hours, then slide the switch one way and see if
holding in the press button will pare the keyboard.
If not then slide the switch the other way and try it again.
If there is a battery low light it will most likely bbe along the top edge
of the front of the keyboard, opposite the buttons on the back. It may
blink when the power is low.
it will probably not show at all when the battery is full because the low
indicator light is designed to draw the attention of a sighted user.
Along the lines of,
"No news is good news." so no light means things are good to go. GRIN:
But trying a light probe on the back and the front for that matter isn't a
bad idea. One never knows what there is to find out from one tiny light.
HTH,
PJ.
