The Apple Wireless Keyboard features a low-profile anodized aluminum frame that complements any Mac.There's a power button on the opposite end of the battery compartment for turning the keyboard off in order to save your batteries while it's not in use. In case if you face any problem in installing or the Keyboard pairing fails, than you will need to update keyboard software and the bluetooth software. To do so, just go through these steps:-

Confirm the keyboard is connected to the Mac.
From the Apple menu, select Software Update.
Install the Mac OS 10.4.10 software update if you have not already done so.
Run Software Update again to download the latest update

Here is a small tip of using your Apple Wireless Keyboard once you get it paired. The Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse uses Bluetooth to communicate with your Mac without wires, and gives you a new level of freedom to use them where you want. With a wireless keyboard and mouse, you can sit back and relax while you type and click through your work.When you pair with your mouse and keyboard, your computer gives them a unique name.

You can change the name in the Bluetooth pane of Keyboard & Mouse preferences.If you are setting up more than one keyboard and mouse, pair one keyboard and one mouse with a single computer. Don't use one computer to set up more than one keyboard and mouse.
