  4. Use and charge your Pixel C Keyboard

    By attaching the Pixel C keyboard to your Pixel C tablet, you can do the following:

    • Type like you’re using a laptop
    • Charge your keyboard and cover your Pixel C
    • With the keyboard attached, you can still use your Pixel C as a tablet

    The Pixel C keyboard lasts up to 80 days with 2 hours of daily active use.

    Learn how to use keyboard shortcuts on your Pixel C Keyboard.

    Set up your keyboard

    Step 1: Attach your keyboard
    1. If your tablet is attached face-down on your keyboard, slide the tablet to the side.
      Slide tablet to the side
    2. Hold the tablet so that the front-facing camera is at the top, not at the side or the bottom. Your tablet cannot attach to the keyboard if it’s in portrait orientation and it may fall and break.
      Front-facing camera is at the top
    3. Connect the tablet to the top of the keyboard and lift. The keyboard will attach to the tablet magnetically.
      Connect tablet to the top of the keyboard
    4. Once the keyboard is attached, lift the tablet to make it stand up. If the keyboard doesn't attach to the tablet, make sure you're holding the tablet so that the front-facing camera is at the top. If the keyboard isn’t correctly attached to the tablet, the tablet may slip on the keyboard and damage both devices.
      Lift tablet to make it stand up
    Step 2: Connect to your keyboard via Bluetooth
    1. A prompt will ask you to turn on Bluetooth. Tap Turn on.
    2. You’ll be asked to enter a code to pair your keyboard . Using the keyboard, type the code on the screen and press Enter. You won’t see what you type, but it’s still recorded.
    3. “Pixel C Keyboard” will show up under “Paired devices.”

    If you weren’t asked to enter a code, follow the steps below.

    1. Go to the Settings app Settings.
    2. Under “Wireless & networks,” tap Bluetooth.
    3. Under “Available devices,” tap Pixel C Keyboard.
      1. If you don’t see “Pixel C Keyboard,” try detaching the Pixel C and then reattaching it.
    4. Using the keyboard, type the code on the screen and press Enter. You won’t see what you type, but it’s still recorded.
    5. “Pixel C Keyboard” will show up under “Paired devices.”

    Close and charge, or use as a tablet

      Place tablet face-up on the keyboard
    4. Now you can hold it like a tablet. To separate the tablet from the keyboard, slide the tablet to the side.

    Your Pixel C’s battery will last up to 10 hours before you have to recharge.*  

    Learn how to charge your Pixel C Keyboard.

    Charge your Pixel C
    Charge the battery on your Pixel C by plugging a power adapter into the USB Type-C port on the left side of the tablet. We recommend using the charger that came with your Pixel C.
    Use the battery icon to check battery life

    Use the lightbar to check battery life

    You can check battery life using the lightbar in two ways:

    • Connect your charger and the lightbar will automatically light up
    • Put your Pixel C to sleep or place the Pixel C face down on the keyboard

    The color of the lightbar on top of your Pixel C changes depending on how much life is left in the battery:

    Color Status
    Green Battery is fully charged.
    Yellow The number of yellow bars indicates how much power is left. More bars means the battery has more charge in it.
    Red Battery is low.

    Off Battery is drained.

    Note: When your Pixel C is plugged in, the lightbar only turns on when the device is awake to save power while charging. When you tap the lightbar twice with two fingers or start using your Pixel C again, the lightbar will turn back on.

    Troubleshoot problems

    You can charge your Pixel C using most USB Type-A ports or USB Type-A chargers with a Type-C to Type-A adapter cable.

    However, these chargers may give less power to your Pixel C and take longer to charge than the original charger.

    We recommend using the charger that came with your Pixel C. If you lost it or want a second one, you can order a new one from the Google Store.

    * Battery life may vary upon usage and other conditions.

    If you purchased your device in Australia or New Zealand, here’s where we tell you what’s covered in your warranty and what’s not - good stuff, and important too. Don’t worry, we’ll make this as fast and enjoyable as possible.

    Use it as any normal human being would.

    Google warrants your device against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use in accordance with Google’s published user documentation for one year from the date that you bought it, in its original packaging, from Google or its authorised reseller (“Limited Warranty”). Avoid participating in extreme athletic events while simultaneously using your device.

    It matters where you bought it.

    This Limited Warranty is only valid and enforceable in locations where the device is sold and will apply only if you purchased your device from Google or its authorised resellers.

    We cover a lot, but here’s what’s not covered.

    This Limited Warranty only applies to the hardware components (and not any software elements) of the device and does not apply to damage caused by normal wear and tear, accidents, misuse (including failure to follow product documentation), neglect, disassembly, alterations, servicing other than by Google authorised technicians and external causes such as, but not limited to, water damage, extreme thermal or environmental conditions.

    We’re not perfect, but we try very, very hard.

    This Limited Warranty does not guarantee that use of the device will be uninterrupted or error-free.
    Warranty remedy (what to do if something does go wrong with your device).
    If a defect arises and you return your device during the one-year Limited Warranty period, Google will, at its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law, either repair your device using new or refurbished parts, replace your device with a new or refurbished device functionally at least equivalent to yours, or accept the return of the device in exchange for a refund of the purchase price that you paid for your device. If Google repairs or replaces your device, the repaired or replaced device will continue to be warranted for the remaining time of the original warranty period. All returned device and/or parts for which you have received a replacement will become the property of Google. Nothing in this Limited Warranty will reduce or otherwise affect your statutory rights in relation to the device.

    To make a claim under the Limited Warranty, please:

    3. We’ll need your name, contact information and the serial number of your device. In certain situations, we might also ask you to provide a purchase receipt. 

    Please refer to the Privacy Policy for more information on how we handle that data, at google.com/privacy. It is your responsibility to backup all data prior to returning the device under this Limited Warranty.

    Included in this Limited Warranty for Australia and New Zealand is an in-home pick-up service for products.
    The device will be at your risk whilst in transit to and from the authorised service centre, unless transported by Google or its authorised representatives, so don’t just hand it over to anyone.
    Google and its authorised service centres may seek reimbursement of any costs incurred by them if the device is found to be in good working order.

    The device comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law (if you purchased the device in Australia) and New Zealand Consumer Law (if you purchased the device in New Zealand).

You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

    HOWEVER, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LIMITED WARRANTY WRITTEN ABOVE IS THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTY GOOGLE PROVIDES FOR THE DEVICE, AND THE ABOVE REMEDY IS YOUR SOLE REMEDY AND GOOGLE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, ARISING FROM COURSE OF CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING THE DEVICE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY ABOVE.

    OK. We’re more than halfway finished. You are now officially among the .00001% who make it this far.

    As a consumer, you have certain rights under consumer protection legislation, including the Australian Consumer Law (if you purchased the device in Australia) and New Zealand Consumer Law (if you purchased the device in New Zealand) (“Consumer Rights”), which cannot be excluded or limited by Google. Your Consumer Rights may include statutory guarantees or other non-excludable protections. Nothing in this Limited Warranty is intended to exclude, restrict or modify your Consumer Rights.
    YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GOOGLE AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, “GOOGLE PARTIES”) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR FAILURE OF ANY WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEVICE OR THESE TERMS, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER OR NOT A GOOGLE PARTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES ARISING. YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE GOOGLE PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEVICE OR THIS LIMITED WARRANTY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT THAT YOU ACTUALLY PAID GOOGLE FOR THE DEVICE.
    No employee or representative of Google or its affiliates or any third party is authorised to make any modification, extension or addition to this Limited Warranty. If any term of this Limited Warranty is held to be illegal or unenforceable, the remaining terms of this Limited Warranty will remain in full force and effect.

    This Limited Warranty applies if you are a consumer and you purchased your device in any Member State of the European Union, European Economic Area or in Switzerland.

    Here’s where we tell you what’s covered in your warranty and what’s not – good stuff and important too. Don’t worry, we’ll make this as fast and enjoyable as possible.

    Your full attention please.

    The Limited Warranty is a voluntary manufacturer’s warranty. It provides rights separate to rights provided by statutory warranty law. Those statutory warranty rights are not restricted by this Limited Warranty.  As such, the Limited Warranty benefits are in addition to, and not instead of, your statutory warranty rights. If the device is defective you may have statutory rights, in particular repair or replacement of the defective device, or alternatively, in some cases, a price reduction or the right to cancel the contract and make a claim for damages or expenses. You have the choice of making a claim under statutory warranty law or under this Limited Warranty.

    Use it as any normal human being would.

    It matters where you bought it.

    (i) With respect to the warranty of conformity, pursuant to article L. 211-4 of the French Consumer Code: “The seller is required to deliver a product which conforms to the contract and is held liable for any lack of conformity which exists upon delivery.  It is also held liable for any lack of conformity caused by the packaging or the assembly instructions, or the installation if it assumed responsibility or had it carried out under his responsibility”.
    According to article L. 211-5 of the French Consumer Code: “To conform to the contract, the product must:
    1. Be suitable for the purpose usually associated with such a product and, if applicable:
    – correspond to the description given by the seller and have the features that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
    – have the features that a buyer might reasonably expect it to have considering the public statements made by the seller, the manufacturer or its representative, including advertising and labelling; or
    2. Have the features defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special requirement of the buyer which was made known to the seller and which the latter agreed to”.
    According to Article L. 211-12 of the French Consumer Code: “Action resulting from lack of conformity lapses two years after delivery of the product”.
    (ii) With respect to the warranty against hidden defects, pursuant to article 1641 of the French Civil Code: “A seller is bound to a warranty on account of the hidden defects of the product sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so impair such use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lesser price for it, had he/she known of them”. According to article 1648, paragraph 1 of the French Civil Code: "The action resulting from hidden defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years after the discovery of the defect".
