1. if I turn the keyboard off, when I turn it back on, I have to complete a brand new pairing for it to work. 2. how do I tell if it needs a charge? 3. should i leave the keyboard on? 4. the power cord is a usb to mini usb -- whats up with that? neither the venue 8 pro or the keyboard have a usb...
1. Once you pair the keyboard the DV8P will remember it and reconnect whenever you switch on the keyboard.
2. Bluetooth keyboard use very little power and will stay charged for a very long time. You'll know to recharge when it stops working or a red LED lights up. Just charge it once a week to be sure.
3. Turn off the keyboard when you're not using it to conserve the charge.
4. Is it a mini or a micro usb? It SHOULD be a micro, the same as the USB port on the DV8P. You can use any USB charger with the cable that came with the keyboard - or just use the charger and cable from the DV8P.
Janet Johns: When you get to the screen that says "Enter the passcode for your keyboard", just under the box where you would enter a passcode if you had one is the phrase, "Or try entering a passcode on it". You will notice that this phrase is gray instead of white. It is a link. Tap on that phrase, and your tablet will display a new passcode. Type this passcode on your keyboard and press enter. They will then pair.
How do I retrieve the password to complete the second part of pairing my keyboard!
