Ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled.
On the keyboard, press and hold the desired Bluetooth channel button (e.g., BT1 or BT2) for 3-5 seconds until the indicator light for that channel starts blinking rapidly. This indicates pairing mode.
On your device, go to Bluetooth settings and search for new devices. Select "cimetech Keyboard" (or similar name) from the list of available devices.
Once connected, the indicator light on the keyboard will stop blinking and remain solid for a few seconds before turning off.
Repeat these steps to connect a second Bluetooth device using the other Bluetooth channel.
