Press in the recessed Pairing button for 5 seconds to put the keyboard into pairing mode.
On your Phone go to “Settings”, then “Wireless controls” and then select “Bluetooth Settings”.
Ensure that Bluetooth is turned on (the Bluetooth checkbox at the top is checked). Now click on “Scan for devices”.
At the bottom of the screen, under “Bluetooth devices”, you will see “Freedom Pro Keyboard” appear. Click on this to begin the pairing process.
When asked for the PIN enter 0000 (four zeros) and then click ok.
You will now see “Freedom Pro Keyboard Paired but not connected”. Please note that the connection is controlled by the keyboard drivers so the keyboard will never show as being connected within this Bluetooth manager.
Select the “Freedom Pro Keyboard” from the list of products.
The website should automatically detect that you have an Android device and give you the driver file to download. If it does not automatically detect your device click on the link to “manually download” the drivers and select the “Android OS link” to download the file.
Once the file has finished downloading click on it to begin the installation process.
You will get a message saying what parts of the OS the keyboard will interact with. Click on ok to continue the installation.
Activating the drivers and connecting the keyboard:
On your phone go to “Settings”.
From the “Settings” menu select “Locale & Text” (if you are on 1.x) or “Language and Keyboard” (if you are on 2.x).
Under “Text Settings” Ensure that “Freedom Pro Keyboard” is ticked. (This does NOT have to be exclusive. You can have multiple items ticked).
Ensure your keyboard is turned on and click on “Freedom Pro Keyboard Settings”.
Click on “Connect” and after a few seconds this will change to “disconnect” and your keyboard is now connected.
Now you need to select the Freedom Pro keyboard as the input method. Click on the “Type here to test your keyboard”.
“Hold” (Long Press) your finger on the “text entry box” that pops up for a few seconds and release.
On the “Edit Text” menu click on “Input Method” and then select “Freedom Pro Keyboard”.
Your keyboard will now be connected and configured. Now when you have finished using the keyboard just switch it off. When you wish to use it again switch it back on, wait a few seconds for it to automatically reconnect and then just use it.
