Windows Phone Thoughts: Arrr, Matey, Stow That Serial Keyboard - This 'ere's Cap'n Bluetooth!

Once the keyboard is unfolded, it’s essentially powered on. To make it ‘discoverable’ (in the Bluetooth sense), you press the CTRL+Left FN+Right FN keys simultaneously until the green power LED starts flashing. During discovery mode, the flash is quite quick (approximately once per second). After the keyboard is connected, the LED will go into a slow flash (about once every two or three seconds) to tell you the keyboard is operational. Apparently, the LED will change to red if the battery level gets too low for the keyboard to operate.

To fold the keyboard back up, you press a small black button at the top of the keyboard, above the P key (see picture above). Then you reverse the process used to open the keyboard. The keyboard is automatically powered off when it's folded up.
