PS3: Connect Bluetooth keyboard
To use your keyboard, you need to add it as a peripheral:
- Switch on your PS3 and scroll down to "Settings" in the XMB. Click down until you have reached "Peripheral Settings" and confirm with "X".
- Now you have to click on "Manage Bluetooth Devices". There you will find the "Register new device" button. Before you press it, put your Bluetooth keyboard into pairing mode. This usually works with a button provided for this purpose (often labeled "Connect"), which you have to press briefly. You can find more information in the operating instructions for the keyboard.
- As soon as your keyboard is in pairing mode, press the mentioned Register button on your PS3. Confirm with "Start scanning". As soon as your PS3 has found the keyboard, confirm with "X".
- You will now see a code on your screen, which you must enter on your keyboard within 30 seconds. Confirm it with "Enter" on the keyboard.
- You have now successfully registered your keyboard. Whenever you turn on your keyboard near the Playstation, it will be recognized automatically and you can use it to type.
