Keyboard Layouts You can use Settings to set the keyboard layouts for software and hardware keyboards. The available layouts depend on the keyboard language. Select a keyboard layout: In Settings, choose General > Keyboard > International Keyboards, then select a keyboard. For each language, you can make separate selections for both the onscreen software and any external hardware keyboards. The software keyboard layout determines the layout of the keyboard on the iPod touch screen. The hardware keyboard layout determines the layout of an Apple Wireless Keyboard connected to iPod touch. Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard For ease of typing, you can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately; iPod touch 3rd generation or later). The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must pair the keyboard with iPod touch. See "Pairing a Bluetooth Device with iPod touch" on page 40. Once the keyboard is paired with iPod touch, it connects whenever the keyboard is within range (up to 30 feet). You can tell that the keyboard is connected if the onscreen keyboard doesn't appear when you tap in a text field. Switch the language when using a hardware keyboard: Press and hold the Command key, then tap the space bar to display a list of available languages. Tap the space bar again to choose a different language. Disconnect a wireless keyboard from iPod touch: Press and hold the power button on the keyboard until the green light goes off. iPod touch disconnects the keyboard when it's out of range. Unpair a wireless keyboard from iPod touch: In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, tap next to the device name, then tap "Forget this Device." You can apply different layouts to a wireless keyboard. See "International Keyboards" on page 34 and "Keyboard Layouts" on page 37. Chapter 3 Basics 37
