Connect the keyboard to a power outlet using the USB-C Charge Cable and USB-C Power Adapter that came with your iPad.
![An illustration of the location of the USB-C charging port at the bottom, left side of Magic Keyboard for iPad.](https://help.apple.com/assets/60DCD4B22EC2D23EF7482272/60DCD4B22EC2D23EF7482279/en_US/51984da3333696191da357378e49a83d.png)
Important: The Magic Keyboard for iPad contains magnets that hold iPad securely in place. Avoid placing cards that store information on a magnetic strip—such as credit cards or hotel key cards—on the inside of the Magic Keyboard, or between iPad and the Magic Keyboard, as such contact may demagnetize the card.
