4. Setup Instructions
4.1 Attaching the iPad to the Case
The protective case for your iPad is designed for a secure fit. Gently insert your iPad into the case, ensuring all edges are properly seated. The keyboard unit attaches magnetically to the protective case via a long magnetic strip. Align the keyboard with the bottom edge of the iPad case until it snaps into place.
4.2 Charging the Keyboard
Before initial use, fully charge the keyboard. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the keyboard's charging port and plug the other end into a USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port. A full charge typically takes 2-3 hours. The keyboard offers approximately 80 hours of working time and up to 150 days of standby time on a single charge.
4.3 Bluetooth Pairing
To connect the keyboard to your iPad:
- Ensure the keyboard is charged and powered on.
- On your iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
- Turn on Bluetooth. Your iPad will search for discoverable devices.
- Locate and select the keyboard (e.g., "WIWU Keyboard") from the list of devices.
- Follow any on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process. Once paired, the keyboard will automatically connect to your iPad when both are on and within range.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Detachable Keyboard Functionality
The keyboard can be easily detached from the protective case. Simply pull the keyboard away from the magnetic strip. This allows you to use the iPad independently with its stand, or position the keyboard for optimal comfort. To reattach, align the keyboard with the magnetic strip at the bottom of the iPad case.
5.2 Adjustable Stand Angles
The integrated kickstand offers a flexible 0-180° multi-angle tilt. This allows you to adjust the iPad screen to various viewing angles for typing, sketching, reading, or watching videos. The stand is designed for stability, preventing accidental collapses.

7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning the Case and Keyboard
To clean the case and keyboard, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the surfaces. Ensure the keyboard is powered off and disconnected from the iPad before cleaning.
7.2 Battery Care
To prolong the life of the keyboard's internal battery, avoid fully discharging it frequently. Charge the keyboard when the battery indicator is low. For the Apple Pencil, it is recommended to charge it only when necessary (e.g., when battery level reaches 20%) to maintain its battery health.
