You may also restart your laptop computer and try to pair your keyboard again to see if that would resolve the issue.
You can also download the product guide at this link if you need the information on how you can properly connect/pair your keyboard to your laptop computer.
Note: Make sure that the Bluetooth is enabled on your laptop computer for the keyboard to connect.
We hope to hear from you soon.
