3 Using the keyboard base
Your tablet includes a full-size, detachable Bluetooth keyboard base for easy navigation. After the keyboard
base is paired, you can use the keyboard base either attached or detached from the tablet.
IMPORTANT: Before you can use your keyboard base, you must pair the keyboard base with the tablet to
establish a connection. See
Pairing the keyboard base on page 14 for more information.
