Alex and others, I solved the problem in a more or less indirect way. It turns out that the Bluetooth keyboard apparently doesn't forget the pairing code. If I hit the reset button on the keyboard after turning it on, it works fine. I don't understand why, but I can live with this.
Thank you very much, and we'll consider the problem satisfactorily resolved.
