PAIRING YOUR MESSENGER FOLIO

Pairing your Messenger Folio with your iPad is easy. It should only need to be paired once, using the following directions. If the connection between your tablet and Messenger Folio is ever lost, repeat these steps.

Access your iPad’s Bluetooth® settings.
Press and hold the Bluetooth key on the Messenger Folio for three seconds. A blue LED under the power key will flash until your Messenger Folio and iPad are paired.
Your iPad will display “ZAGG Messenger Folio” as an available device. Select this option to complete pairing.

CHARGING

Your Messenger Folio features a powerful lithium polymer battery that lasts for up to three months between charges*. It comes with a charging cable you can use to charge your keyboard quickly and conveniently. To charge your Messenger Folio, follow these steps:

Plug the micro USB connector into the charging port, located at the lower right corner.
Plug the regular USB connector into any USB outlet.
A red LED under the power key will illuminate to indicate your Messenger Folio is charging. Wait until this light turns off, indicating a full charge.
Remove the micro USB connector and enjoy your Messenger Folio for up to three months before you need to charge it again.
Normal use is approximately one hour of use per day.

BATTERY LIFE

As mentioned, the Messenger Folio features a powerful, rechargeable battery that lasts up to three months between charges. To check your Messenger Folio’s remaining battery power, press + (battery key). The LED indicator will flash one of three ways:

Three green flashes = full battery.
