Welcome

Instruction Manual: Congratulations on purchasing the ZAGG Rugged Messenger. The following will show you how to get started. Keep this quick start guide for future reference. For a full instruction manual, please visit zagg.to/instructions.

Getting Started

  1. Inserting Your Device: First, insert your device at an angle such that the power and volume control buttons fit into their respective cutouts on the Rugged Messenger cover. Please note: Because the power and volume control buttons on the device sit higher than on other devices, take extra care when inserting it into the Rugged Messenger cover. Next, set the rest of your device into the cover and press it in. Press all-around your device to ensure it has seated properly.

  2. Using the Stand: First, lift the cover off the keyboard and lay it flat. Then place your device in the magnetic recessed groove located in the middle of your Rugged Messenger where you will feel it connect with the magnets. Next, while holding your device in place, fold the cover towards your device. Let the cover fold in along the groove to create the built-in stand. Place the end of the cover close to the top of your device and you will feel the magnets connect, securing the stand in place. You can now rest your device against the stand at a convenient viewing angle. 

  3. Adjusting the Viewing Angle: Your Rugged Messenger case features built-in magnets that work together with the built-in stand to create multiple viewing angles. To adjust the viewing angle on your Rugged Messenger, simply slide the built-in stand up or down along your Rugged Messenger case until you feel the magnets connect.

  4. Power: Open the Rugged Messenger and press the Power button located at the top right corner of the keyboard. A light will illuminate, indicating the power is now on. To tum off your Rugged Messenger, press and hold the Power button for three seconds.

  5. Pair: Tum on your iPad’s Bluetooth® connection. Press your Rugged Messenger’s Bluetooth® ( ) key for three seconds. The LED above the Bluetooth® key being used will light and then pulse until pairing is complete. Select “ZAGG Keyboard” from your tablet’s list of available pairing devices. Repeat this process using the other Bluetooth® Key to pair your Rugged Messenger to another device. Once you have multiple devices paired, you can toggle your Rugged Messenger keyboard between the devices by pressing
