2.2 Erste Verbindung und Kopplung
Once physically attached, the keyboard should automatically connect. If prompted, follow on-screen instructions to complete any necessary driver installations or Bluetooth pairing. The keyboard draws power directly from the Surface Pro, so no separate charging is required for the keyboard itself.
