    You will need to delete it from your system first. Bluetooth devices may only be connected with one thing at a time (for obvious reasons).

    Sorry, I did not read your post carefully and gave you what would need to be done with a Mac.

     

    I have never paired a Bluetooth device with my iPad, so I am fishing.

     

    This article will tell you how to unpair the KB (click on "how to stop using...")

    You can stop using a Bluetooth accessory by either turning off the accessory, or turning off Bluetooth on iPad.

     

    Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory

     

    If you've paired iPad with an accessory that you no longer wish to use, you can unpair the accessory.

     

    From the Home screen choose Settings > Bluetooth2. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.

    Choose the accessory and tap Forget this Device.
