Once the keyboard memory is clear, it will default to pairing mode for Memory Slot 1.

 
NOTE:  If a device is paired to Memory Slot 1 of the Keyboard but Memory Slot 2 is empty, switching to Memory Slot 2 will cause the device stored in Memory Slot 1 to lose connection with the Keyboard. 

To regain connection on your Keyboard manually, connect to it on your iPad by selecting the Keyboard from the Bluetooth® Devices list.
