I found out that the fundamental issue is to ensure that the keyboard was plugged into power even if fully charged. Once I did that it paired.

Thanks anyway.

Hello umelo64,


To pair a Bluetooth accessory with your iPad Pro you'll want to take the steps below, which include making sure the device is in discovery mode:


Pair a Bluetooth headphone, keyboard, game controller, or other device

1. Follow the instructions that came with the device to put it in discovery mode.
Note: To pair AirPods, see the instructions for your model in the “Pair and connect” section in the AirPods User Guide.
2. On iPad, go to Settings  > Bluetooth, turn on Bluetooth, then tap the name of the device.

iPad must be within about 33 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth device.


You can also find those steps in this resource: Set up and use Bluetooth accessories on iPad - Apple Support


Should you still be unable to pair your keyboard, are you able to successfully pair your iPad Pro with other Bluetooth devices?


Let us know, and we'll keep moving forward based on your results.
