2. Charging the Keyboard

3. Bluetooth Pairing
To connect the keyboard to your iPad Pro:
- Ensure the keyboard is charged and powered on. Look for a power switch, typically on the side or top edge of the keyboard.
- Activate Bluetooth pairing mode on the keyboard. This usually involves pressing a dedicated Bluetooth button or a function key combination (e.g., Fn + C). Refer to the keyboard's specific markings for the pairing button/indicator. The Bluetooth indicator light will typically flash rapidly.
- On your iPad Pro, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
- Ensure Bluetooth is turned On.
- Your iPad will search for nearby Bluetooth devices. Select "CODi Keyboard" or a similar name from the "Other Devices" list.
- If prompted, enter the pairing code displayed on your iPad screen using the CODi keyboard, then press Enter.
- Once paired, the keyboard's Bluetooth indicator light will stop flashing and remain solid, and the keyboard will appear as "Connected" in your iPad's Bluetooth settings.

Operating Instructions
Keyboard Functions
The CODi keyboard provides a familiar typing experience with additional function keys for iPad-specific controls.
- Standard Typing: Use the keyboard as you would a regular computer keyboard.
- Function Keys: Many keyboards include a row of function keys (F1-F12 or similar) that, when pressed with the 'Fn' key, can control iPad features like screen brightness, volume, media playback, and home screen access. Refer to the key legends for specific functions.
- Trackpad: If your model includes a trackpad, it functions similarly to a laptop trackpad, allowing for precise cursor control and multi-touch gestures (e.g., scrolling, pinch-to-zoom).
Adjusting Viewing Angles
The folio design allows for multiple viewing angles. Adjust the iPad's position within the case to find the most comfortable angle for typing, viewing, or drawing.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Case Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the case with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Keyboard: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the keys. For dust or debris between keys, use compressed air. Do not spray liquids directly onto the keyboard.
- Trackpad: Clean the trackpad surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Storage
When not in use, keep the keyboard case closed to protect both the iPad and the keyboard from dust and scratches. Store in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
