Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard Not Discoverable

[Smithson]

I just bought a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard, the directions say when you turn it on the "The battery indication light glows green then blinks and red ad green to show the device is discoverable".

This isn't happening, the light glows green for a few seconds then goes off, I have switched batteries, but it makes no difference.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Do you have bluetooth enabled? Go to Start, type ,Services,, click on Services, look for Bluetooth..., R-click then select start. You should also be able to get it to start automatically using a sequence of L & R clicks. Good luck, AA

If you can type on the keyboard it has been discovered.

Have tried on both my desktop and Galaxy tab, is not discoverable. The lights don't flash on the keyboard as the instructions describe, so I', wondering if there's a problem with the unit?

Can you beg/borrow/steal another BlueT device (mouse etc.) to check your machine is talking the blueT tongue?. Or a trip back to the vendor may have to be on the agenda... AA
