Rapoo E6700 Setup Instructions
Setup Using GUI (NOOBS/Raspbian)
1. Insert SD card into Raspberry Pi.
2. Connect HDMI cable from Raspberry Pi to monitor.
3. Connect a standard USB keyboard and mouse into USB sockets on Raspberry Pi.
4. Connect the power supply to the Raspberry Pi, and switch on.
5. Once the Raspberry Pi has fully booted, you should be in the standard Raspbian
desktop. The version of Raspbian on the SD card provided does not currently have
Bluetooth support installed, so you should not see a Bluetooth icon on the taskbar.
However, upgrading Raspbian will cause Bluetooth support to be installed. To do
this, you will need to be connected to the internet; so either connect to a WiFi
connection by clicking on the network icon at the top right of the desktop screen and
select the required network, or connect an Ethernet cable between the Pi and the
router.
6. Open a terminal window on the Raspberry Pi, and type in the following commands:-
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
If you find that the apt command does not work, you should use the apt-get
command instead:-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
7. Once the upgrade has completed, you should see a Bluetooth icon in the taskbar.

However we have also seen reports of situations where some Bluetooth keyboards do NOT automatically connect following reboot.
