POWERING ON AND OFF
Your Slim Cover keyboard pairs to your Surface via Bluetooth® 3.0. That means you can type on your keyboard without it being connected physically to your Surface. As an added feature, your Slim Cover keyboard can pair with two Microsoft devices at once for ultimate convenience.

A red LED will flash indicating your keyboard is off.
CHARGING
Your Slim Cover keyboard features a battery that delivers up to three months of typing per charge*; and because the battery operates independent of your Surface, you can type on the Slim Cover even when it’s not physically connected to your Surface. Here’s how to charge your Slim Cover Keyboard:
- Plug the micro USB end of the included charging cable into the Slim Cover’s charging port – located on the right side.
- Plug the USB end of the included charging cable into any USB charging outlet.
- The LED will light red and stay lit until your Slim Cover is fully charged.
- When the red LED goes off, your Slim Cover is fully charged. Unplug the charging cable and enjoy up to three months of the most spacious, natural typing available for your Surface.
Based on one hour of use per day. Using the backlit feature will reduce battery life and require more frequent charging.
CHECKING BATTERY LIFE
Your Slim Cover can provide up to three months of regular typing per charge. Checking how much battery life it has left is easy – here’s how:
- Press Fn + CTRL (also the battery key). The LED will light one of three ways.
-
- Three green flashes indicate a full battery.
- Three yellow flashes indicate approximately half battery life remaining.
- Three red flashes indicate low battery life. When your Slim Cover reaches critical battery level the LED will flash red once every five minutes.
To help preserve battery life, your Slim Cover Keyboard will enter sleep mode if left on but not used for several minutes. To wake it, press any key. Also, the Slim Cover’s battery has no memory and may be charged whenever you wish.
