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 iPhone
screen. The hardware keyboard layout determines the layout of an Apple Wireless
Keyboard connected to iPhone.
Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard
For ease of typing, you can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately;
iPhone 3GS or later).
The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must pair the keyboard
with iPhone. See “Pairing a Bluetooth Device with iPhone” on page 51.
Once the keyboard is paired with iPhone, 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 eld.
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 dierent language.
Disconnect a wireless keyboard from iPhone: Press and hold the power button on
the keyboard until the green light goes o.
iPhone disconnects the keyboard when it’s out of range.
Unpair a wireless keyboard from iPhone: In Settings, choose General > Bluetooth, tap
next to the device name, then tap “Forget this Device.”
You can apply dierent layouts to a wireless keyboard. See “International Keyboards” on
page 40 and “Keyboard Layouts” on page 44.
