HP Bluetooth Keyboard Pairing

Could someone point me the way to pair these? The setup asks for a pin but I cannot find one and have tried the bluetooth keyboard app with no luck.

Are you referring to Android or WebOS on the TP?

Enter the PIN you want on the TP (1234 is easiest), then enter the PIN on your keyboard and press enter.

No problem. It is not very intuitive, they need a prompt or something at the pairing screen explaining the steps more clearly.

You don't happen to have a list of keyboard shortcuts do you?

Nope. I don't use a bluetooth keyboard a whole lot, just when I have a lot of email to catch up on.

What are you running on your TP? I'm running both CM9/ICS and WebOS. When pairing I have to first to put the HPBT keyboard in pairing mode. Turn it off, then back on and it will be in pairing mode for about 1 minute. If it is showing as paired but "greyed out" in the TP bluetooth menu delete or "unpair" it, that puts the tablet in pairing mode. When the tablet "finds" the BT KB it will tell you to type a randomly generated 4 digit code to pair. It's essentially the same on both platforms.
