Fire HD 10 Keyboard Case
User's Guide

The Fire HD 10 Keyboard Case is an integrated Bluetooth LE Keyboard and case designed by

Amazon for your Fire HD 10 Tablet. This short guide will familiarize you with all of the

features and functionality of your new Fire HD 10 Keyboard Case.

Charging and battery management

The Fire HD 10 Keyboard utilizes low power consuming Bluetooth Smart technology

resulting in a battery life of up to 3 months with regular use and 12 months on standby.

When you aren't using your keyboard, we recommend that you slide it back into the case to

turn the keyboard off and conserve battery life.

Your Fire HD 10 Keyboard can be charged using the USB charging cable included with your

Fire HD 10. Charging should take less than 2.5 hours. Please note that it may take a bit longer

the first few times you charge your keyboard.

To check the battery level, connect your keyboard to your Fire tablet and then check

Notifications. There are three status levels: FULL, OK, and LOW. Once the battery level has

reached LOW, you can expect at most a couple more days of typical use.

Pairing your keyboard

To pair your Fire HD 10 Keyboard and Fire HD 10 Tablet:

1. Slide the keyboard out. The LED indicator will blink blue indicating it is ready to be paired.

If the LED indicator does not blink, charge the keyboard.

2. Open Settings and select Wireless > Bluetooth. Turn Bluetooth on and select Pair a Bluetooth

Device. Choose Fire HD 10 Keyboard. The LED indicator will flash blue twice when your

keyboard successfully pairs.

3. The Fire HD 10 Keyboard Case is available in U.S. or UK models, so you will need to set the

keymap on your Fire HD 10 tablet to match the physical keyboard. To do this, open Settings

and select Keyboard & Language. Under Physical Keyboard, select Fire HD 10 Keyboard > Set

up Keyboard Layouts. Once the keyboard layout is selected, you must press the Back key to

back out of the screens and for the change to take effect.

Powering on and off

Your Fire HD 10 Keyboard will automatically power off after 15 minutes of inactivity to

conserve battery life. To wake your keyboard up, tap the Power button. To turn it off, slide the

keyboard back or hold the Power button for 2 seconds. When pressing the Power button to

turn it off, a red LED indicator will appear then fade out.

Positioning your keyboard

Your keyboard case can support the tablet in three distinct angles for better typing, browsing,

and viewing experiences whether at a desk or on the go.

You can also use your tablet in tablet mode without removing it from the protective case.

In the above configuration, the keyboard is stowed and will not interfere if turned off.
