how do i pair bluetooth apple keyboard and iphone5?

I am trying to pair my wireless bluetooth apple keyboard with my iPhone 5. It recognizes the keyboard but will not pair with it. What am I doing wrong?


Thanks in advance!

1) Turn on bluetooth on your iPhone (under settings)


2) Make sure your bluetooth on your computer is not on (this is esp. applicable if it's a mac of any sort).


3) Turn on power on the apple wireless keyboard


4) The keyboard should show up on the bluetooth list of paired devices on the iPhone's bluetooth menu. It'll say it's not paired.


5) Touch this line in order to begin the pairing process. The iPhone will give you a 4 digit code to type into the wireless keyboard.


6) Once you type in the code, the iPhone will tell you if it is paired successfully, and then you'll be good to go.


There's some youtube videos as well. I referred to this one originally:
