Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard

For ease of typing, you can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard with iPad.

The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must pair the keyboard

with iPad. See “Pairing Bluetooth Devices” on page 43.

Once the keyboard is paired with iPad, it connects whenever the keyboard is within

range (up to 30 feet). You can tell that the keyboard is connected if the onscreen

keyboard doesn’t appear when you tap in a text eld.

Switch the language when using a hardware keyboard: Hold down the Command

key and tap the space bar to display a list of available languages. Tap the space bar

again to choose a language.

Disconnect a wireless keyboard from iPad: Hold down the power button on the

keyboard until the green light goes o.

iPad disconnects the keyboard when it’s out of range.

Unpair a wireless keyboard from iPad: In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, tap

next to the keyboard name, then tap “Forget this Device.”

You can apply dierent layouts to a wireless keyboard. See “International Keyboards” on

page 18 and “Keyboard Layouts” on page 21.

Dictionary

For many languages, iPad has dictionaries to help you type. The appropriate dictionary

is activated automatically when you select a supported keyboard.

To see a list of supported languages, from Settings, choose General > International >

Keyboards.

iPad uses the active dictionary to suggest corrections or complete the word you’re

typing. You don’t need to interrupt your typing to accept the suggested word.
