Installing and Configuring the Keyboard
Before You Begin
Before you install the Axim
¾ Disable or remove any other keyboard applications that you have previously
installed on your Pocket PC device. (Refer to the User’s Guide included with your
Pocket PC device for instruction on how to do this.)
¾ Ensure there is at least 400 KB of memory on your Pocket PC device. To check the
available memory, tap Start =>Settings=>System=>Memory.
¾ Insert the 2 AAA batteries (included) beneath the battery cover of the Axim™
Wireless keyboard.
Installing the Software
1. Connect your Pocket PC device to a computer using the docking cradle or sync
cable.
2. Establish a connection between the computer and your Pocket PC device using
ActiveSync® and then backup the data stored on the Pocket PC device. (Refer to
the User Guide included with your Pocket PC device for instructions on how to do
this.)
3. Insert the CD enclosed with your keyboard and select the language preferred from
the Language Chooser screen.
4. Double-click the language preferred to start the installation process. Follow the onscreen instructions to successfully install the software.
5. Tap the on-screen button to reset your Pocket PC device to complete the
installation.
6. After the driver is successfully installed and the Pocket PC device is reset, the
keyboard driver icon will show up in the Programs window.

Configuring the Keyboard to Your Pocket PC Device
1. To enable the Axim™ Wireless keyboard, tap the
Enable button on the Config screen of the keyboard
application. This will open the Keyboard Setup
Screen.
2. When the Keyboard Setup Screenwi TwCrM TD( )12 0 eTn w] ma70 T002reSq139.62001 0 0 182.3M51 T5c rd to Y

5. Before starting the scan
make sure the keyboard is
Discoverable by the
Pocket PC device. To do
this, press the <Ctrl> Left
<Fn> Right <Fn> keys
together on the keyboard
until the green LED flashes
(~ 1 second). Then tap the
Scan button on the screen.
4. The New Connection window is used to connect
the Pocket PC device to the Axim™ Wireless
keyboard. Tap New Connection to begin the
process.
™
6. Wait until the Axim
Wireless keyboard appears in
the list. If the keyboard does not show up:
a. Try pressing the <Ctrl> Left <Fn> Right <Fn>
keys together on the keyboard and tapping
the Scan button on the screen again.
b. Or, power cycle the keyboard (close and
reopen), then press <Ctrl> Left <Fn> Right
<Fn> and tap Scan again.
c. If neither of the above steps work, check that
the Red LED on the keyboard is not lit after a
power cycle indicating a dead battery
condition.

7. Once the Axim™ Wireless keyboard appears, select
it by tapping. Then decide whether you need a secure
or unsecured connection. An unsecured connection is
vulnerable to eavesdropping. A secure connection
requires authentication by entering the same passkey
on the Pocket PC device and the keyboard (see #10).
If you prefer a secure connection, please check the
Secure box - otherwise leave it blank. Then tap the
Connect button. (See Secure Connection Overview
for more information).
8. If several Axim™ Wireless keyboards happen to be
nearby and in Discoverable Mode, the scan will
display all of these devices in the list. The keyboard
ID (Bluetooth address) printed on the back of the
keyboard should be compared with the IDs in the list
and the desired keyboard selected.
9. If the Secure box is not checked, the connection is
usually established within a few seconds after tapping
Connect. If the connection is not established, press
the <Ctrl> Left <Fn> Right <Fn> keys together on the
keyboard and click Connect again.
Axim™ Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 6
10. If you choose a secure connection by checking the
Secure box, the Pocket PC Bluetooth system
software will prompt you for a passkey. You are
likely to see the Bluetooth Passkey dialog shown
here, but this is variable by device. Enter a passkey
using the Pocket PC on-screen keyboard, then tap
OK in the top right corner of the window. Type the
same passkey number on the Axim™ Wireless
keyboard, using Left <Fn> + <Number> keys. When
finished, press the <Enter> key.
NOTE: The passkey must contain only digits,
for example 1234.
11. If the passkey is not entered correctly, the
connection will fail. In this case you will need to
press the <Ctrl> Left <Fn> Right <Fn> keys together
on the keyboard and tap Connect again.
NOTE: Please, make sure that the passkey is
entered on-screen first, tap OK and then follow with
the passkey on the keyboard. When finished, press
the <Enter> key on the keyboard.
12. If the connection process is successful, the Secure
keyboard connection enabled message will
display on the Pocket PC device. This is the normal
mode for wireless communication between the
Axim™ Wireless keyboard and the Pocket PC device
during use.
Axim™ Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 7
13. The Bluetooth Status Page displays the current
state of the Bluetooth connection between your
Pocket PC device and the Axim™ Wireless
keyboard. It also allows text to be entered to test the
connection. Buttons are provided to set up a new
connection or to disable the existing connection.
14. On the Bluetooth Status Page the keyboard battery
information is displayed. The three states of the
battery are:
a. Normal – This is the most common state of
the battery.
b. Low – This is a warning that the batteries
have reached a threshold where they should
be replaced soon.
c. Critical – This means the batteries are in
imminent danger of reaching a point where
they will no longer function.
15. If the keyboard
batteries reach a low
or critical state a
message will be
displayed.
Axim™ Wireless Keyboard Owner’s Manual Page 8
16. To determine the version of the Bluetooth stack
installed on your handheld device, locate the
Bluetooth icon and tap it with the stylus to open the
application. Find the Bluetooth About tab and tap to
open the associated page. There you will find the
version and build for the installed Bluetooth stack.
17. If more than one Bluetooth stack is found on the
Pocket PC device when Setup is tapped, the
keyboard application will display a Stack Selection
dialog box. If the device has a built-in Bluetooth
system, that stack should be used (e.g. Widcomm
BTW-CE). If the device is using a removable
Bluetooth card such as an SDIO card, a different
stack may need to be used (e.g. Socket or
Microsoft). If the wrong stack is selected a
connection may not be possible. In such a case
return to the Stack Selection dialog box by tapping
Enable on the Config page, then select Axim™
Wireless keyboard and tap Setup.
18. If the keyboard driver fails to detect any supported
Bluetooth stack during the initial setup or at a later
time (e.g. after power on), it will display the
Bluetooth system not detected message on the
BT page. This should not happen on Pocket PC
devices with a built-in Widcomm stack version
≥1.4.x, since it is always present and is supported by
the keyboard software. However, if the device has
been upgraded with an incompatible version of the
stack, then this message may be displayed or the
software may function improperly. In such a case the
keyboard software must be replaced with an
updated version.
