function keys (volume etc) not working on my magic keyboard

Just bought a new magic keyboard for my 2013 (!!) iMac. Paired with Bluetooth successfully, but function keys aren't working - don't seem to be connecting with my iMac. Mac is running current version of Catalina. Anyone else have this problem? I've tried on/off on the keyboard; rebooting; verifying connection through settings. Nothing.


iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Reset the SMC, and try again ➡️ How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support


I’d probably also reset the NVRAM ➡️ Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
