Using Bluetooth Devices

You can use iPad with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and other Bluetooth devices,
such as Bluetooth headphones. For supported Bluetooth profiles, go to
support.apple.com/kb/HT3647.

Pairing Bluetooth Devices

You must first pair the keyboard or headphones with iPad before you can use them.

Pair a Bluetooth device with iPad:

1

Follow the instructions that came with the device to make it discoverable.

2

In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, and turn Bluetooth on.

3

Select the device and, if prompted, enter the passkey or PIN number. See the

instructions about the passkey or PIN that came with the device.
Note: Before you pair an Apple Wireless Keyboard, press the power button to turn the
keyboard on. You can pair only one Apple Wireless Keyboard with iPad at a time. To
pair a different keyboard, you must first unpair the current one.
After you pair the keyboard with iPad, the product name and a Bluetooth icon
appear on the screen.
After you pair headphones with iPad, the product name and a Bluetooth audio icon
appear on the screen when you’re viewing audio or video playback controls. Tap to
switch to a different audio output, such as the internal speaker.

To use the onscreen keyboard again, turn off Bluetooth (Settings > General >
Bluetooth), or press the Eject key on the Bluetooth keyboard.

Bluetooth Status

The Bluetooth icon appears in the iPad status bar at the top of the screen:

Â

(white): Bluetooth is on and a device is connected to iPad.

Â

(gray): Bluetooth is on but no device is connected. If you’ve paired a device with

iPad, it may be out of range or turned off.

Â

No Bluetooth icon: Bluetooth is turned off.

Unpairing a Bluetooth Device from iPad

If you pair iPad with one Bluetooth device and then want to use a different device of
the same type instead, you must unpair the first device.

Unpair a Bluetooth device:

1

In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, then turn Bluetooth on.

2

Choose the device, then tap “Forget this Device.”
