Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard

You can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately; iPod touch 3rd generation or later)
for typing on iPod touch. The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must pair
the keyboard with iPod touch. See “Pairing a Bluetooth device with iPod touch” on page 31.

Once the keyboard is paired with iPod touch, it connects whenever the keyboard is within range
(up to 30 feet). You can tell that the keyboard is connected if the onscreen keyboard doesn’t
appear when you tap in a text field. To save the battery, unpair the keyboard when not in use.

Switch the language when using
a hardware keyboard

Press and hold the Command key, then tap the space bar to display a list of
available languages. Tap the space bar again to choose a different language.

Disconnect a wireless keyboard
from iPod touch

Press and hold the power button on the keyboard until the green light
goes off. iPod touch disconnects the keyboard when it’s out of range.

Unpair a wireless keyboard from
iPod touch

In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, tap

next to the device name,

then tap “Forget this Device.”

You can apply different layouts to a wireless keyboard. See Appendix A, “International
Keyboards
,” on page 131, and “Changing the keyboard layout” on page 25.
