4. Select "ELECOM Slint Keyboard" (or similar name) from the list of found devices.
5. Follow any on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process. A pairing code may be displayed on your device, which you will need to type on the keyboard and press Enter.
6. Once paired, the LED indicator will stop flashing and remain solid for a moment, then turn off.

Note: If your device does not support Bluetooth HOGP, a compatible Bluetooth adapter (e.g., ELECOM LBT-UAN05C2 series, sold separately) may be required.
